Former North Yorkshire councillor charged with alleged antisemitic posts.
She's due in court next month
A former North Yorkshire councillor is facing prosecution for allegedly sending antisemitic social media posts.
77-year-old Pat Marsh has been charged with displaying threatening, abusive or insulting written material with intent to or likely to stir up racial hatred.
The charge relates to social media posts made in January and February last year.
The councillor has denied her comments were antisemitic.
Ms Marsh served under the North Yorkshire Liberal Democrats for more than three decades, representing the Stray, Woodlands and Hookstone division in Harrogate until she resigned from the authority, prompting a by-election.
She is due to appear at Harrogate Magistrates’ Court on November 6.
