Diane Abbott's Son Faces Criminal Charges
After Methamphetamine Delivery to Mother's Home
Son of Shadow Home Secretary Faces 11 Charges
James Abbott-Thompson, the son of Hackney MP and shadow home secretary Diane Abbott, has been charged with 11 criminal offenses, including possession of methamphetamine, possession of a class B drug, and obstructing a police officer. He is alleged to have had crystal meth delivered to his mother's £12 million home.
Abbott-Thompson was arrested outside the Foreign Office on Tuesday after an alleged altercation with a police officer. He was taken into custody and charged later that day. His mother, who was not at home at the time of the incident, has not commented on the charges.
The charges against Abbott-Thompson are serious and could result in a significant prison sentence. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison for possession of methamphetamine alone. His arrest is a major embarrassment for his mother, who has been a vocal critic of the government's drug laws.
