Teen who smuggled 394 MDMA caps into music festival avoids prison, despite police appealAn 18-year-old aspiring nurse who internally concealed almost 400 MDMA pills at a music festival where a man died has avoided prison again, despite an appeal against her non-custodial sentence. This woman stuffed nearly 400 illegal pills into her vagina to take to a music festival. She did this to make fast money. People are dying from these drugs. Why is she not going to jail? Higher level drug criminals will use this case to recruit more young women to smuggle drugs. Don’t worry, no jail time if you get caught. I’m sure she learnt her lesson. Thankfully we have a legal system that looks after the victim and adequately punishes drug dealers. What a joke....
