Woman spared jail after assaulting pregnant woman in stomach

Summarised from Isle of Wight County Press's report · Updated 5 Nov, 21:51 · Archive

An Isle of Wight woman who punched a heavily pregnant woman in the stomach multiple times has been given a community order rather than jail.

Mia O'Dell, 31, of Wellington Road in Ryde, appeared at Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court following a series of assaults committed between 17 July and 8 August. The Isle of Wight County Press reports that O'Dell was at a high level of intoxication when she assaulted neighbours who had previously helped her with her children. Weeks later, she punched a heavily pregnant woman in the stomach area multiple times. She also assaulted two others who were walking past, and family members who intervened to stop the incident.

At sentencing, the magistrates concluded that a community order was appropriate. O'Dell was ordered to pay £100 in compensation and made subject to an alcohol treatment requirement and a probation requirement. Her defence argued that personal trauma had contributed to her behaviour.
