Model dubbed ‘Luscious Lorna’ escapes jail after headbutting teaching assistant in vicious revenge attack over bully row
A BUSTY glamour model calling herself ”Luscious Lorna” has escaped jail over a vicious revenge attack on a teaching assistant.
Mum-of-five Lorna Silcock, 33, dragged Kayleigh Rutherford to the ground in a public park before pulling clumps of her hair out.
She also headbutted and repeatedly punched and kicked her victim, who she blamed for accusing her children of being school bullies.
The Easter holidays attack in front of Miss Rutherford’s two children caused Silcock’s breasts to fall out of her top when it was pulled down during the scuffle.
Miss Rutherford, who works at a primary school in Macclesfield in Cheshire, had berated Silcock’s youngsters for teasing her daughter – but they responded: ”Our mum’s gonna batter you.”
The victim suffered concussion, black eyes and a dislocated finger in the attack on April 10.
Silcock, a beautician from Macclesfield, also models on the subscription website Exclusive Link.
She has now admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm, at Chester Crown Court.
Silcock was sentenced to 14 months in prison, but this was suspended for 18 months with a requirement to complete 20 rehabilitation activity days.
Her friend Atlanta Hewitt, 30 and also from Macclesfield, was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison – suspended for 12 months – along with 25 rehabilitation days.
Both Hewitt, who was pregnant at the time of the assault, and Silcock were ordered to pay £100 in costs.
They were also handed five-year restraining orders banning them from contacting Miss Rutherford.
Joanne Moore, prosecuting, said: “The whole incident appeared to have started on a previous date when Miss Silcock’s children had been abusive to Miss Rutherford’s daughter.
“They sent her messages and the messages became heated.
“Miss Rutherford, who was with her baby, saw her eldest daughter who is 12 years old playing unaccompanied in the park and went to check on her in light of her being abused a few days previously.
”When she arrived at the park she recognised some teenagers who had been abusive to the child, calling her a slag.
“As she approached her daughter, the teenagers said something and she said. ‘I will speak to your mum’ – but they became abusive and felt intimidated.
“They said, ‘Our mum is going to batter you’, and at this point Miss Hewitt comes out of Silcock’s address holding a baby, followed by Miss Silcock.”
Miss Moore said Hewitt then swung around and handed the baby to someone standing behind her before both women started attacking Miss Rutherford.
The prosecutor went on: “She was repeatedly punched by one female while the other female punched and pulled her hair.”
Miss Moore told how the victim was taken to her mum’s home for help and then to A&E, suffering concussion as well as bruising to her face and a broken ring finger on her left hand.
In a statement, Miss Rutherford said: ”It left me feeling unsafe to leave home in fear of something like that happening again.
“It left me feeling isolated. I have been sent home from work due to panic attacks and fear of leaving the house.
“The children saw me crying after the assault and for weeks I could not string a sentence together.
“I kept forgetting what I was talking about. My daughter witnessed the assault whilst screaming and crying.
“She’s only young and should not have to witness something like that.
“She does not want to see me go anywhere alone in case I get hurt again – she wants to take up boxing to defend herself and protect me.
“I have felt completely rundown every day, both mentally and emotionally, I just want to get back to my normal self.”
Defence lawyer Nicholas Kerruish-Jones told the court: “This incident should not have happened – but feelings were running high on the part of Miss Silcock.
“There was an issue that concerned her children and it’s fair to say her emotions got the better of her.
“She says she regrets it – she had no wish to get involved in a fight with Miss Rutherford but the situation spun out of control.”
Handing out the sentences, Recorder Karen Ridge said: “It must have been a truly frightening experience for those who witnessed this incident.
“The violence that was used was unlawful and cannot in any way be excused.
“Miss Rutherford has been affected and continues to be affected to this day.”
