A pregnant woman, Bella May Culley, has been released from a prison in Georgia after being caught with a significant amount of drugs in her luggage. The 19-year-old, formerly a student nurse from Teeside, was arrested in Tbilisi and faced a potential two-year prison sentence. However, a plea deal was renegotiated, reducing her time served to five months and 25 days, which she had already completed.
Bella was seen leaving a court in Georgia with her mother, Lyanne Kennedy, who raised concerns about Bella’s treatment at Rustavi Prison Number Five. Bella’s family paid a large sum to secure her release. She was emotional upon her release and expressed her relief to her father.
There is speculation about the identity of the baby’s father, with suggestions pointing to a man named “Russ” or “Ross” whom Bella may have met in the Philippines. Bella’s social media posts hinted at a possible romantic relationship, but no clear evidence of the father’s identity has been provided. Bella’s family mentioned her interactions with various individuals during her travels, including encounters in Thailand and the Philippines.
Bella’s release follows her transfer to a “mother and baby” unit with improved living conditions after her time in a harsh prison cell. Her mother reported that Bella now has more freedom and access to better facilities, including cooking for herself and socializing with other inmates.
