An anti-corruption campaigner who caused drama during an infamous meeting in Petersfield Festival Hall is facing a courtroom showdown with Donna Jones.

Teresa Skelton is set for a week-long trial after being accused of serially harassing the Police & Crime Commissioner for Hampshire.

The 64-year-old of Hyde Close, Winchester, has pleaded not guilty with a May 2026 trial date being confirmed on Monday during a hearing at Southampton Magistrates Court.

The court heard Mrs Jones has recorded a video interview with a day being set aside for her testimony, with more than a dozen witnesses set to give evidence.

Teresa caused a stir last April when she was removed by police who attended the Annual Town Meeting which included an update by Mrs Jones on the soon-to-open police station.

The Tory’s appearance was controversial as it took place during the election run-up with questions about its legality.

The defendant was supported among others at Monday’s hearing by Liss parish councillor and fellow Justice and Anti-Corruption party stalwart Don Jerrard.

She was given conditional bail and has been ordered not to make contact, directly or indirectly, with Mrs Jones or Julie Briggs, and not to post any comments or videos online relating to the P&CC.
