Woman jailed for defrauding EastEnders actress over Hillary Clinton
- Anne Mulloy told her friend Helena Breck she needed money for fake expenses
- But she was rumbled and jailed at Peterhead Sheriff Court for three years
A fraudster has been jailed for three years after scamming a former EastEnders actress by pretending she was making a documentary about Hillary Clinton.
Anne Mulloy, 63, told her friend Helena Breck she needed money for expenses for more than five years despite never starting with the film.
Mulloy – who is also known as Anne Leuser – claimed she knew Mrs Clinton and would be getting behind-the-scenes access to her 2016 presidential campaign.
But her plot was rumbled and yesterday at Peterhead Sheriff Court she was jailed by Sheriff Craig Findlater for three years.
Ms Breck, who played Albert Square’s Elizabeth Willmott-Brown, said: ‘She has shown no remorse for the trust that she has abused, the pain she has caused, or the crimes that she commits.

Ms Breck, who played Albert Square’s (pictured) Elizabeth Willmott-Brown, said: ‘She has shown no remorse for the trust that she has abused, the pain she has caused, or the crimes that she commits’
‘I’ll never recover financially from the damage that she has caused.’
Earlier this year Mulloy was found guilty of fraud between October 2011 and April 2017 by asking Ms Breck for loans for expenses she didn’t intend to repay.
The Fraserburgh woman had been repeatedly sent money by her one-time friend as she continued with the scam. One spreadsheet created by Ms Breck and revealed to the court had shown a figure dated on April 1, 2016, as being around £114,000.
Mulloy said she had been making a documentary on Mrs Clinton. But this was not true, with the fantasist’s lies having been exposed in 2017 when she was jailed in London for trying to dupe filmmakers out of £120,000 for a documentary on the leading Democrat.
