A 29-year-old beautician named Chelsea Orrock on Wednesday was sentenced to 18 months of jail time for smashing a wine glass and scarring a mother for life. Newcastle Crown Court heard the victim was left with a cut from her lip to cheek, which has left permanent scarring. Chelsea Orrock had hurled the wine glass at the woman in anger causing it to shatter in her face. Now, the question arises why did Chelsea Orrock attack the victim?
The answer is dating. Chelsea Orrock smashed the glass at the woman after she mentioned that she had dated her boyfriend at school on a night out in June 2022. The glass caused a cut from the victim's lip to her cheek which was left leaking blood and required stitches.
Prosecutor Ian Cook was quoted telling the court, "The complainant commented she and her partner used to go out with each other at school. The defendant had a wine glass in her hand and she threw that, forcibly, toward the victim, striking her to the left side of her face. The glass smashed."
The victim told the court, "I feel like people are always looking at my scar when I talk to them. I look at the floor during conversations as a result. I try to avoid leaving the house."
Coming back to Chelsea Orrock's sentencing, she was ordered to complete 90 days of alcohol abstinence monitoring, 130 hours of unpaid work and pay £1,000 compensation.
