A transsexual woman who was convicted of waging a creepy five-year spying campaign against her neighbour has escaped jail - after a judge decided that it would be too dangerous for her.

Her twelve-week jail term was suspended by Judge Nicholas Sanders after her defence barrister argued that the there was some doubt over whether Krause would be sent to a female or male establishment and that a prison sentence would put her in the "most awkward and dangerous place anyone could find themselves in".
