Kirsten Alexandra Stevenson, the alleged fraudster accused of swindling her boss out of £23,000 by tampering with National Lottery software, is facing charges of fraud by false representation, theft, and fraud by abuse of position. The case against her was heard at Banbridge Magistrates’ Court and a police constable has connected her to the charges. According to the particulars of count one, Stevenson is accused of defrauding the victim by “exaggerating” National Lottery “winnings layouts” with the intent to make a gain for herself or to cause a loss to the complainant. Despite confusion in the courthouse about whether or not Stevenson was required to attend the hearing, the case will “proceed on indictment” to the Crown Court regardless. Stevenson, of Gallows Street in Dromore, says she’s just trying to get on with her life and that she and the alleged victim are not allowed to speak to each other. District Judge Trevor Browne has adjourned the case for a month.
