A 23-year-old Dubbo woman described as a “well respected young lady” by a magistrate has avoided a conviction for assaulting her ex boyfriend and his new partner.
Courtney Monaghan was in a relationship with the man for about four years and after they split he arrived at her house on August 23 to pick up belongings with his new partner in the car.
After Monaghan and her ex partner started arguing, she leant into a car and punched the new partner.
When Monaghan’s ex tried to remove her, she clenched her fist and hit him in the eye.
As the new lovers tried to leave, Monaghan banged on the car window and said “I am going to get you”.
Monaghan was charged by police and pleaded guilty to two counts of assault.
Dubbo Local Court magistrate Gary Wilson said Monaghan was a “well respected young lady” and he accepted her behaviour amounted to a spontaneous loss of self-control.
“It wasn’t a good move coming with the new girl to pick up his gear,” Magistrate Wilson said.
“You can’t go jobbing people. You’ve got no criminal record, let’s keep it that way.”
Monaghan was not convicted of the assaults and ordered to be of good behaviour for six months.
