Katie Baskerville accused of assaulting 13-year-old, illegally recording her conversations

Police allege a woman assaulted a teenage girl and installed a spy app on her phone to record her conversations without her consent.

Police allege a Cawdor woman assaulted a 13-year-old girl and installed a spy app on her phone to record her conversations without her consent.

Katie Baskerville, 33, did not appear in Picton Court on Wednesday, but it heard she has entered written pleas of not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two charges of installing a listening device to record conversations without consent.

Police allege the woman assaulted the teenager very late on the night of September 15 and caused her bodily harm.

In documents tendered to the court, police allege the teenager was taken to Campbelltown Hospital for treatment of her facial injuries after the alleged incident.

On the same night, police allege Ms Baskerville installed a spying app on the teenager’s phone to record her conversations. They also allege she recorded the girl without her consent or knowledge.

The matter was first heard in court last year, but has been delayed because of incomplete documentation.

The teenager is protected by an apprehended violence order which prohibits Ms Baskerville from coming close to her home or school.

Ms Baskerville is due to return court on March 24 to set a hearing date.
