AN abusive teenager with a horrendous criminal record has been hauled back to court.
Paris Willows is no stranger to court staff, having amassed criminal convictions for more than 100 offences over the years.
Many of these are for assaulting police, and she was recently back before Warrington Magistrates’ Court to face a charge of harassment, as well as three charges of assault by beating of an emergency worker.
However, magistrates decided against sending the 19-year-old directly to youth detention, instead imposing rehabilitative work and ordering her to pay compensation for her aggressive actions.
The court heard from prosecutor Natasha Williamson how the harassment charge was committed in Warrington against her probation officer on June 28 last year.
Willows pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of a woman by sending her abusive messages and making phone calls to her of a threatening nature.
She used expletive-laden name calling, wished her child would die and said: “I will stab you, you just watch.”
The defendant admitted that she knew or ought to have known that these actions amounted to the harassment of her.
The following day, Willows was arrested and taken to Runcorn Custody Suite, where she then assaulted three separate woman police officers.
As officers tried to restrain her, she pinched and kicked out.
The court heard of her ‘extensive’ criminal record, with 31 previous convictions for 114 offences – including 26 counts of assaulting an emergency worker.
Magistrates remarked that the offences were so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified in her case.
However, taking her guilty pleas into account, they decided that they could suspend the sentence.
Willows, of Towers Court in Bewsey, was sentenced to eight months of detention in a young offender institution suspended for two years.
In addition, she was ordered to complete 40 rehabilitation activity requirement days and pay £250 in compensation split between the four victims of her offending.
