Cheryl Prudham, a 34-year-old English mother of 12, has been accused of stealing over $12,000 in change from parking meters, adding to her notoriety as the “Queen of Benefits” for allegedly receiving more than $49,000 annually in welfare. She recently made headlines when photographed shopping for a Mercedes near her Wigan, Lancashire home. Her estranged husband, Robert Prudham, 31, is facing charges related to the parking meter thefts and failing to disclose past criminal convictions to a recruitment firm. Cheryl is also implicated in handling the stolen money.
The trio, which includes 27-year-old Jacob Undertown, faces the same charges and vehemently denies any wrongdoing. They are set to stand trial in November, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Cheryl, who works part-time as a cleaner, has a total of 12 children from different partners, but she’s considering having another child via a sperm donor due to her “addiction” to pregnancy. She believes it would bring in more benefits, which she plans to use for cosmetic surgeries like breast enhancement and a tummy tuck. Cheryl explained, “Having babies is what makes me happy.”
