A VIOLENT teenager with an appalling history of offending has been set back to prison for attacking a child.
Paris Willows is no stranger to the courts, having amassed more than a hundred previous convictions – despite only being 19 years of age.
Having reached adulthood, she has recently been handed sentences of incarceration.
She is now back behind bars after being sentenced at Crewe Magistrates’ Court for sending an offensive communication and assault by beating.
Clare Oliver, representing the prosecution in the case, explained how both of the offences occurred in Warrington on November 14 last year.
Willows sent a number of Facebook, text and voice messages that were ‘grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character’.
That same day, she assaulted a ‘vulnerable’ 15-year-old girl by punching her in the face.
A previous court hearing heard how Willows has an ‘extensive’ criminal record, amassing more than 30 previous convictions for in excess of 110 offences many of which are for assaulting an emergency worker.
She was last locked up for 12 months in March after being convicted of five counts of assault by beating of an emergency worker.
Before then, the defendant was previously spared jail in January, with the court instead imposing rehabilitation work.
This came after she used expletive-laden name calling towards her probation officer, wished her child would die and said: “I will stab you, you just watch.”
Willows also pinched and kicked out at police.
For her latest conviction, magistrates said they would take the defendant’s guilty pleas into account.
However, they remarked that the severity and nature of the offences, which are aggravated by her appalling record, meant that appropriate punishment could only be achieved by way of immediate custody.
Willows, of Towers Court in Bewsey, was sentenced to nine weeks in a young offender institution and ordered to pay £200 in compensation.
