On January 24th 2005, at Maidstone Crown Court, Colin Barden PLEADED GUILTY to a number charges listed below:

Case 1
1 count of "Attempting to Obtain Services by Deception" - 2½ years
2 counts of "Obtaining Property by Deception" - 2½ years
5 counts of "Obtaining Services by Deception" - 2½ years
3 counts of "Evasion of Liability by Deception" - 2½ years
1 count of "Theft" - 2½ years

Case 2
1 count of "Obtaining Services by Deception" - "To remain on file"
1 count of "Fraudulent Trading" - "To remain on file"

Case 3
2 counts of "Obtaining Money Transfers by Deception" - 2 years
2 counts of "Making False Instruments" - 2 years
2 counts of "Using a False Instrument" - 2 years

Sentences unfortunately to run concurrently so he effectively only got 2½ years.

Originally, sentencing was set for 25th February 2005 pending "Psychiatric Reports", was postponed again until 11th March 2005 and again till 1st April 2005, then again till 29th April 2005 and finally until Friday 13th May - Unlucky for some !!!!

Colin attempted to get out of a custodial sentence by claiming that he is a "manic depressive" who was "only trying to gain the acceptence of his peers" !!!! In other words he was trying to say that he isn't really a nasty, snidey piece of shit with no conscience, but in fact is unwell, needs help and does not deserve to be locked away where he can do no harm and wreck peoples lives and businesses. He should have got a job as a comedian.

In the second news article below it says a psychiatrist's report stated that Barden suffered from "long-term grandiosity".
"Terminal Dick-head" would be a better description of any affliction he may have.
