Caroline Starmer hit the headlines after her Facebook post slamming a security guard went viral.
The post read:
“I feel I need to share a horrific experience I had today at my local Primark store in Leicester.
“My 9.5 month old daughter started crying, needing a feed and the queues were pretty long, so to save my daughter the upset, and the other customers too, I decided to find a quiet spot out the way of others and feed her discreetly.
“Within 5 minutes of doing so, I was approached by a security guard who asked me to vacate the premises to feed my daughter.
“I stood my ground and stated my rights, that I can legally feed where I want… just for the security officer to physically remove my daughter from my breast and walk down the store with her, saying if I wanted my daughter, then I was to come and get her.
“Obviously, I went and retrieved my daughter as soon as my senses got the better of me. And I went straight to the local police station afterwards to lodge a complaint.
“My husband has been on the phone to the assistant manager of the Primark store on and off all afternoon, and they said they would investigate it. However, since he admitted he could see me on cctv, he hasn't called back since.
“My confidence is shot, and my poor daughter hasn't been herself all afternoon.”
At the time Primark released a statement, confirming they would be investigating the incident and adding that 'mothers are welcome to breastfeed in their stores'.
However Primark dropped the investigation after viewing CCTV footage which appeared to show no such incident.
Police then investigated the accusations, resulting in 28-year-old Caroline being charged with intent to pervert the courts of justice.
The case has been adjourned until 3 December.
