Paris Ow-Yang seeks mental health dismissal on assault charge

The troubled times of teen millionaire OnlyFans model Paris Ow-Yang have been unveiled during an unsuccessful bid to have an assault charge dismissed on mental health grounds.

The troubled past of a millionaire OnlyFans model charged over a “dust-up” at her eastern suburbs home has been unveiled as she made an unsuccessful bid to have her charges dismissed on mental health grounds.

Paris Ow-Yang, 19, was charged with assault, intimidation and property damage over the incident in Sydney’s east in November.

The daughter of high-profile neurosurgeon Michael Ow-Yang had been a social media influencer since her early teens as a star showjumper before pivoting to adult entertainment platform OnlyFans when she turned 18.

She narrowly avoided conviction over the “dust-up”, which occurred during an alcohol-induced blackout after she consumed cocktails and champagne at an influencer event.

Solicitor Michael Bowe said the breakdown of Ow-Yang’s parents’ marriage sparked psychological struggle, not limited to major depressive disorder, an eating disorder, grief, compulsive shopping, binge drinking, and self-harm.

“Her mother and father separated...it struck her with great difficulty, she missed her father,” Mr Bowe told Magistrate Paul Mulroney.

“She said it was extremely horrible.”

Mr Bowe also referred to the deleterious effect of Ow-Yang’s previous relationship with nightclub boss Julian Tobias during his application to have the charges dismissed on mental health grounds.

Ow-Yang was sentenced to a community correction order for high range drink driving at more than four times the legal limit after crashing into a Mercedes in Point Piper in 2023 in the wake of what she characterised as a painful break-up with Tobias.

“She has a partner who is in the American army, he is a stable influence, albeit, the last partner she had was not,” Mr Bowe said.

“She makes a substantial income with her media involvement, and she’s got an agent in the United States and flies there regularly.”

Mr Mulroney denied the mental health application, and Ow-Yang pleaded guilty to all charges as a result.

Mr Bowe asked the court to spare her a conviction as a “young girl” with the world in front of her.

“She’s been seeing the psychologist… but shortly after the driving matter is dealt with, an email is sent saying that she would not be attending any further treatment,” Mr Mulroney said.

“I’m very sympathetic to people who suffer from mental health conditions, it’s not as though Miss Ow-Yang went to a supermarket and picked the conditions she suffers off the shelf and took them home with her – they were visited on her by circumstances not of her own choices.”

However, Mr Mulroney said he needed to consider the seriousness of the charges and the victims’ protection.

Ow-Yang was sentenced to a 15-month conditional release order prohibiting her from consuming any alcohol and directing her to accept psychological treatment.

She must also comply with a two-year apprehended violence order for the victims’ protection, which prohibits her from committing any offences or talking to them within 12 hours of consuming alcohol.
