Campbell pleads guilty to assault

Maid Marian

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has pleaded guilty to assaulting two police officers at Heathrow Airport.

Ms Campbell, 38, was removed from a BA flight bound for Los Angeles at Heathrow's Terminal 5 on 3 April.

Wearing a dark suit and sunglasses, she faced a media scrum as she arrived in a Mercedes for her first appearance at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court.

The charge of assaulting a constable carries a maximum six-month prison sentence and a fine of up to £5,000.

The prosecution said problems started on the aircraft when Ms Campbell was told an item that belonged to her was among luggage which had gone missing.

Ms Campbell admitted three counts of assaulting a constable and one count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

She also pleaded guilty to two counts of using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew.

Before the hearing, Ms Campbell's spokesman Alan Edwards said: "She feels what happened was regrettable and she has come to court today to put her side of the story."

Her lawyer Simon Nicholls has said the model was "bitterly disappointed" to discover she would be prosecuted.

In respect to the bit I've highlighted - she was only bitterly disappointed because she thought she was above the law and nothing would be done

I hope the punishment fits the crime this time - a short spell inside is too much to hope for though :roll:
