Prosecutors said GMP were alerted to her website in August last year by the Metropolitan Police. Thorn-Jones appeared in a video on her YouTube channel titled 'not so sweet self-defence kit', which was viewed more than 24,000 times.
The court heard prosecutors are currently unaware who she sold the self-defence kits to, and the judge urged police to investigate so the weapons can be retrieved. Defending, Jeremy Barton said it 'beggars belief' that Thorn-Jones 'could be so naive', and she genuinely believed she wasn't acting illegally.
