Sex plea woman calls police

Robina Milne, who had been drinking heavily, called for assistance late one Saturday night.

Droitwich magistrates were told officers visited Milne and her partner at their home in Comer Gardens, St John's, on April 7.

"They were called by the defendant," said Liz Tweed, prosecuting.

"She was drunk and said she was upset because her partner had refused her sexual advances."

Police left the home but were called back a few hours later by the 37-year-old's partner.

"He told police she was locked in the bathroom and had thrown things about," said Ms Tweed.

Milne came out of the bathroom and said the pair had been smoking cannabis.

"She made threats to hurt someone if police didn't sort it out," said Ms Tweed, who added that Milne was arrested to prevent a breach of peace.

"She was escorted to the vehicle but she turned and kicked the officer in the ribs, causing a sharp pain and he was winded.

"Another officer took hold of her and she head-butted him.

"She continued to resist at the police station and, while being searched, a fingernail was dug into the arm of the police officer."

Milne, of Ombersley Road, Worcester, admitted three charges of assaulting a police officer.

She also admitted breaching a 12-month conditional discharge imposed by Birmingham magistrates in December.

"My client had been drinking heavily," said Martha Recordon, defending.

"She has little recollection of events and no recollection of assaulting police officers.

"She's been under a considerable amount of pressure for the last three years as a result of long-term domestic violence. She's finding life very difficult to cope with at the moment.

"She's aware the offences are serious and she's full of remorse and beside herself with what she's done. She's separated from her partner and she's trying to get her life back in order."

Magistrates fined Milne £90 and ordered her to pay £75 compensation, with £25 for breaching her conditional discharge and £50 court costs.
