Ex-nanny jailed for spiking sex-shop tycoon's soup

Sex-shop mogul Jacqueline Gold is one of UK's richest

A London judge has jailed the ex-nanny of a British sex-shop tycoon for spiking her employer's asparagus soup with windshield washer fluid in an attempt to get the household's chef in trouble.

Judge Christopher Critchlow sentenced Allison Cox to a year in jail, saying her 'calculated and deceitful behaviour' was a 'gross breach of trust.'

Cox, 33, had pleaded guilty to one charge of administering poison to Jacqueline Gold last October 'with intent to injure, aggrieve or annoy.'

Allison Cox is as guilty as a nanny can be

She was employed to look after Gold's daughter Scarlett when the poisoning took place.

Gold is one of Britain's richest women, whose chain of stores selling racy lingerie and sex toys has earned her a fortune estimated at 180 million pounds (RM900 million).
