Sophia Tilley facing drugs charges

The woman who was the focus of an ill-fated probe into NSW deputy crown prosecutor Margaret Cunneen has been charged with drug possession in Sydney's east.

Sophia Tilley, 26, is due to face Waverley Local Court next month after she was allegedly found with a small amount of cocaine in April.

Ms Tilley was at the centre of an ICAC investigation into Ms Cunneen after the state's corruption watchdog accused the top silk of advising Ms Tilley to fake chest pains in order to avoid a breath test after a car accident.
