Natalia Woolley, 47, spat in the face of a pub manageress when refused service for being drunk in the middle of the afternoon, Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard.
In 2012 she received three years imprisonment for the manslaughter of 69 year-old Winston Fernandez, who suffered 17 fractured ribs and a broken neck at his £1m Epsom home.
She advertised her services on the websites ’24carat escorts’ and ‘Diamond Escorts’ and used a number of aliases, while passing herself as ten years younger than she actually was.
The sites described Russian-born Woolley - who is separated from her English husband - as “incredibly sexy” and “all things to all men.”
Now living in an apartment overlooking the All England Club in Lakeview Court, Wimbledon Park Road and receiving £800 per month Universal Credit she pleaded guilty to assaulting Hannah Hubbard on June 4.
Prosecutor Mr Luke Staton told the court Woolley turned up drunk at The Gardeners pub in Merton Road, Southfields at 2.15pm, ignoring their entrance and exit covid protocols.
“The victim was working as an assistant manager and was standing outside when she saw the defendant enter through the exit door.
“She was stumbling in and the victim was unable to understand what she was saying.
“She appeared to be trying to get served by staff and Ms Hubbard informed her she was not going to be served because she was intoxicated.
“The defendant left the pub whispering: ‘You’re so f***ing boring,’ as she passed Ms Hubbard, but returned five minutes later, again through the exit door.”
“The defendant proceeded to take a big breath and spat at Ms Hubbard. The saliva landed on the right side of her forehead and her eyebrow.
“The defendant then headed out of the exit and Ms Hubbard was crying and upset about what happened and went to the bathroom to clean the saliva off her face.
“The pub door was shut to prevent the defendant coming back in and the police were called.”
In her victim impact statement Ms Hubbard said: “It was very frightening and triggered anxiety and I was shaken.
“I only stopped shaking two hours later. I do not come to work to be spat at and did not expect this in the middle of the afternoon.”
Woolley has a conviction in July, 2016 for battery and in July last year was placed on a two-year community order for assaulting an emergency worker and ordered to complete 120 hours community service.
Her lawyer Daniel Cavaglieri told the court: “Ms Woolley has struggled with alcohol for a number of years and after this incident it acted as a wake-up call and she appreciates she needs to address the issue.
“After her arrest she got in contact with alcohol services and has taken steps to address her alcohol abuse.”
The court heard Woolley has engaged with Wandsworth Community Drug and Alcohol Services and USA-based Big Book Alcoholics anonymous.
Regarding her last sentence the lawyer added: “Very few, if not zero unpaid hours of community service have been completed, but she is not in breach. There has been a breakdown in communication.”
Woolley was sentenced to a twelve-month community order, with 25 days of a rehabilitation activity requirement and ordered to pay £50 costs and a £95 victim surcharge.
She was also ordered to complete with an electronically-tagged nighttime curfew between 7pm and 7am for the next eight weeks and pay £200 compensation to Ms Hubbard.
“This is a nasty offence,” said magistrate Justine Johnson. “Spitting in someone’s face is as nasty as it can get and spit is regarded as a weapon in covid times.
“We have had a read of the paperwork you have submitted and read the probation report, a nice full report that helps our job.
“We have heard the nature of the offence. You went back time and time again and harassed the victim.
“We are not going to be putting you into custody. It has not breached the custody threshold.
“We are going to ask probation to look at any alcohol treatment element, which by your own admission is something that needs to be addressed to change your behaviour and protect the public.
“This individual was going about their job in the service industry, serving the public and they were assaulted in a very nasty manner during covid.”
Woolley - who now goes by the name Natasha - and has a new partner was cleared by a Guildford Crown Court jury of murdering retired accountant Mr Fernandez, who she claimed attacked her.
His decomposing body was discovered one month later and Woolley claimed he received the fatal injuries when she kicked out at his chest in self-defence and fell on top of him while attempting to flee his clutches.
