The ex-wife of a Whitstable businessman has appeared in court accused of sending a naked picture of him to one of his employees.

Deborah Addams, 55, is also alleged to have thrown a bag of dog mess at builder Geoffrey Mylcrist while subject to a court restraining order.

Addams, of Kemp Road, Whitstable, who runs a holiday homes letting business, appeared before a district judge today at Margate Magistrates’ Court where she denied the offences.

She also pleaded not guilty to a charge of harassment.

The offences are alleged to have happened over a six-month period from August last year to January.

Addams was bailed to appear for trial at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court on June 6.
