CONVICTED (2009) | Ricky Jefferies, born 05/04/1979, previously of Edgeworth in Yate and as of 2020 of Stanshawe Crescent, Yate, Bristol BS37 4EW – kicked a hedgehog repeatedly in the street
The court heard that Jefferies kicked the hedgehog after discovering his fiancee of seven years was having an affair with his best friend.
Police saw Jefferies run towards the hedgehog and kick her six or seven metres, then kick her again.
Jefferies admitted inflicting unnecessary suffering to a wild animal when he appeared before North Avon magistrates on 02/07/2009. He was fined £140, ordered to pay £55 court costs and £15 towards the Victim Support Fund.
The fate of the hedgehog is not known.
Update 2020
Jefferies went on to marry the woman whose infidelity, he said, caused him to attack a defenceless hedgehog. They have three children together.
Scum, What A Pathetic Sentence.
Please Don’t Book This Guy, To Do Any Work On Your Property.
He Is A Disgrace, and Deserves To Be In The Gutter.
Like What He Did To That Little Defenceless Hedgehog.
You Know What Your Wife and Best Friend Thought Of You Deep Down, and Now This Is Out:
You Have Brought Shame To Your Children,

I Would Deeply Be Ashamed Of You, If You Was My Father.
This was in 2009 I don’t think anyone cares
