Neighbours gay rants at drag queen

WiganToday.net – By Annette Kelman

A woman dubbed a “neighbour from hell” subjected a Wigan drag queen to months of verbal abuse, a court heard.

June Jones repeatedly swore and shouted homophobic abuse at her next door neighbour Martin Prescott after learning he was gay and worked as a professional female impersonator.

Jones, 56, of Pryce Avenue, Higher Ince, admitted pursuing a course of conduct amounting to the harassment of 40-year-old Mr Prescott between June 4 and October 3 this year when she appeared before Wigan magistrates.
