Jessie Vard Facing Jail In Thailand

An Irish model was today (Wed) facing up to a year in a Thai jail after being charged over revealing shots of her promoting illegal betting sites. Jessie Vard, 19, from Donegal, has amassed millions of fans since moving to Bangkok, Thailand, as a child and later becoming a glamour model. She has been involved in large numbers of promotions for gambling sites - which are illegal in the country - but often used by models who write their domains across their cleavage. Some earn the equivalent of tens of thousands of pounds a month promoting betting sites. But ahead of the World Cup, Thai authorities have been cracking down on football gambling and the ''net pretties'' who promote them online.
