Infamous daughter and granddaughter of late Coronation Street star Johnny Briggs assaulted two other women
THE daughter and granddaughter of late Coronation Street star Johnny Briggs assaulted two other women.
Karen Briggs, 54, and her daughter Emma Beach, 35, attacked Sophia Walton and Amanda Gaye in October last year.
They had also been accused of ABH and theft but they denied it and the charges were dropped as the victims did not wish to take the case to trial.
But they admitted common assault at Guildford crown court.
Briggs and Beach, of Staines-upon- Thames, Surrey, were remanded in custody and will be sentenced on a date to be set next year.
The pair have a long list of previous convictions involving drugs, assaults and shoplifting.

Briggs’ father Johnny played factory owner Mike Baldwin in the ITV soap.
He appeared in 2,349 episodes of the long-running soap before leaving Coronation Street in 2006.
Karen Briggs publicly apologised to her famous father in 2018 after he reportedly disowned her for giving Class A drugs to her daughter at the age of 14 years.
