Woman sexually assaulted professional who was helping her, court told
A CARLISLE woman has been put on the Sex Offender Register after she pleaded guilty to a sexual assault. The victim of 38-year-old Natalie Jones's offence was a female professional who had called at the defendant's home to offer support when the defendant was particularly vulnerable. The woman was concerned about Jones, and so agreed, following a request from the defendant, to cuddle her. The professional could see Jones was distressed and needed support, prosecutor Diane Jackson told Carlisle's Rickergate court. During the visit, in November last year, Jones had shown the woman a knife that she had nearby, saying it was "for protection," but the professional took it from Jones and put it away in the kitchen. It was as the woman was leaving the property that Jones sexually touched her, the court heard. The defendant, of Rydal Street, Carlisle, admitted sexual assault. In court, defence lawyer Chris Toms said that the short explanation for why Jones had behaved as she did was 'drink.' 'It's not something she would have done if she had been sober,' said the lawyer. 'She is completely at a loss to explain why she did it. The issue is that she felt incredibly vulnerable." While feeling that way, said Mr Toms, the defendant acted in an entirely inappropriate way towards the professional. "She is in desperate need of help," he added. The hearing then moved on to a police officer making a formal application for a domestic violence protection order against Jones to protect a man she was accused of attacking. Explaining the background, the officer said police received a 999 call on May 12 from a member of the public. The person reported seeing a female – the defendant – standing in the street and shouting for two hours. When the police arrived, Jones had been allowed back into a flat she had been shouting towards earlier. When the police arrived, officers found Jones inside the flat with a man, who had injuries to his forehead and cheek. She claimed he had hit her. But the man accused Jones of hitting him in the face with a glass object, thought to have been a candlestick holder. He said he struck her in self-defence. The officer told magistrates that the man involved had declined to make any statement in support of a prosecution and thus the police were applying for a domestic violence protection order to protect him. Mr Toms told magistrates that Jones would have opposed the imposition of the order but she would not do so for fear of losing and then being left with legal costs running into thousands of pounds. For the sexual assault, magistrates imposed a 12-month community order, which includes 10 rehabilitation activity days as well as a three-month non-residential alcohol treatment programme. The sentence also includes 100 hours of unpaid work. The presiding magistrates said it was accepted that the defendant was vulnerable and that she was remorseful, and that alcohol and mental health were relevant factors. The magistrates also approved the domestic violence protection order. This will last for 28 days and forbids any contact with the man whom Jones was suspected of assaulting. The idea of such orders – imposed because of a perceived risk to the protected person – is to give the people involved breathing space. Jones was put on the Sex Offender Register for five years and must comply with various conditions, including registering her personal details with the police within three days. The defendant wept throughout much of the hearing.
