Judge fed up with excuses from smiling defendant who was slapped on the wrist for kicking a woman in the face after she tried to return her lost mobile phone

A 23-year-old British woman was jailed this week for greater than two years after receiving a suspended sentence for beating up one other woman outside a Yorkshire pub and leaving the victim on the pavement after she was kicked and stomped in the face.

Despite the vicious nature of the crime, Charlotte Unwin – blonde and white – was initially not given a prison sentence after the judge hearing the case suspended the six-month sentence Unwin would have served after being convicted of beating up 22-year-old Chelsea Rimmer in an unprovoked attack outside the Blackamoor pub in Selby in North Yorkshire in March 2022.

After being arrested and shown video footage of the attack, Unwin reportedly showed no remorse.

Leaning against a wall, Unwin pleaded guilty to causing serious bodily harm to Rimmer, received a lenient sentence after which, according to probation officers, apparently tried to forgo most of her court-ordered community service.

At sentencing in 2022, Judge Simon Hickey warned Unwin that his leniency could be conditional on her completing 15 days of counseling and 180 hours of community service.

However, the court heard she stopped cooperating with probation officers and showed up for lower than half of her scheduled visits, sometimes giving several excuses as to why she couldn’t show up, including: he harassed her at one in every of her designated workplaces.

In the two years since the slap on the wrist, Unwin stopped cooperating with the probation service, missed greater than half her appointments and was called back before Judge Hickey at York Crown Court earlier this 12 months when she was given one other likelihood.

Meanwhile, probation officers said at a September 2023 hearing that Unwin received five additional days of rehabilitation classes for violating the terms of her probation, but was still allowed to remain free.

Finally, after several more violations were reported, the judge summoned Unwin back to court on May 30 and ordered her to serve 4 months in prison for continuing to defy the verdict.

“I view your excuses with some skepticism,” Hickey chided the defendant: According to Daily Mail. “In my opinion, it is not unfair to impose an immediate prison sentence. People who stamp on other people, especially young women who are defenseless on the ground, usually end up in jail.”

After being sent away, Unwin struck an boastful pose for a prison photo, smiling and crossing her arms.

The brutal attack began after the victim mistakenly took Unwin’s mobile phone and tried to return it to her, before Unwin assaulted the woman, leaving her with scratches, bruises and severe distress.

A friend of the victim who witnessed the attack told the Mail that “Unwin attacked her brutally as soon as she saw her. It was disgusting and completely unprovoked. “Chelsea tried to give her back her lost phone.”

The friend recalls that as her victim lay helpless on the ground, Unwin became much more brutal.

“As soon as she fell, she kicked her in the face and stomped on her head, causing some nasty marks and bruises.”

After that, Rimmer “didn’t want to go out anymore,” she said.

She also said the lenient sentence Unwin initially received sparked outrage from Rimmer’s family and friends.

“She paid almost no compensation that the court ordered Chelsea to pay,” she said of Unwin. “She doesn’t seem to care and the smile in her photo says it all. The fact that she finally went to prison is at least some comfort.”
