'Liar' took out car finance in her partner's name without her knowledge

JUDGE BRANDS WOMAN'S BEHAVIOUR 'UTTERLY DISGRACEFUL'

- By PETER CRAIG

A WOMAN was branded a despicable liar by a judge after defrauding her partner out of a significant sum of money.

The judge told her to pay some of the money back in compensation, telling her she had “lied and cheated on her lover”.

Yasmin Green, 34, admitted fraud of a £5,000 loan to buy a home that did not even exist and creating a false Land Registry document for the fictitious home. She also admitted creating a false persona in order to deceive her lover into going along with the house purchase. Green also obtained finance with a bank for the purchase of a car in the victim's name without her knowledge, the court heard.

Prosecuting at Grimsby Crown Court, David Ward said the two women had been in a relationship for a year after meeting on a Tinder date in 2020. The victim, from Hull, had been told she was meeting with another woman, called Danielle, in a bar. She met with Yasmin Green, who told her that Danielle was late.

Mr Ward said the complainant had no recollection of what happened next. “But she woke up with the defendant at her home the next day. The defendant told her she had met Danielle, but the victim could not remember anything of the previous night,” said Mr Ward.

He added the victim still contacted the fictitious 'Danielle,' not knowing that it was really Green that she was talking to. He said she continued to deceive her by pretending to be Danielle.
