Two-Timing Boyfriend Sentenced For Breaking Partner's Nose

Punch: Heaven-Lee Roach
A two-timing love rat, who punched his live-in girlfriend while she was face timing the ‘other woman’ - breaking her nose in two places - has been sentenced.

Heaven-Lee Roach, 35, met the second woman on Tinder and has always insisted he was using lawful self-defence when his girlfriend punched him in the chest during a row.


The long-running case finally concluded at Inner London Crown Court last week, where Roach stood two jury trials.


Roach, of Doulton House, Lambeth Walk, Lambeth received a twelve-month community order, which includes 250 hours community service.


Recorder Natasha Peter also ordered him to pay £3,000 compensation to victim Lici Parra in £300 monthly instalments.


Roach was convicted of inflicting actual bodily harm on operations assistant Ms Parra at her Saperton Walk home, Lambeth on November 8, 2021.


During the first trial prosecutor Maria Culling told the jury Roach’s reaction to being struck was excessive and could not be considered lawful self-defence.


“The Crown say he didn’t need to use self-defence at all. A big adult man delivering a blow with a clenched fist is not proportionate.”


Giving evidence from behind a screen Ms Parra told the trial she dated Roach for two years after meeting him on social media.


“We were in a tricky point because a week before I discovered he was on Tinder.”

Girlfriend: Lici Parra


She received no replies to her texts to Roach, who later told the court he was at the cinema with his second girlfriend and his phone was in ‘Airplane Mode’.


Ms Parra quickly became concerned Roach was not responding. “He would usually say he was suicidal and I started to have anxiety at work.”


She went to an old address of his and an older woman answered the door. “She introduced herself as the mother of his girlfriend and I was shocked, it was not what I expected.


“The woman explained that he was with her daughter and was not answering the messages because he was with her.


“I did not want to be lied to anymore. I wanted the truth.”


She met up with Roach near her flat shortly afterwards. “He said he was low and felt like killing himself and that is why he was not answering the messages.


“He was getting aggressive and removed his rings because he wanted to punch something, he said and did not want to damage his rings,” explained Ms Parra.


She phoned the second woman via a video call and told Roach: “Look who I am speaking with.”


“I felt very sad and upset and that he needed to leave my home and that he was a liar,’ she told the jury. “The other woman broke down and started to cry.


“I said he was a fraud, but he was just arrogant and cold and I tried to spit, but nothing came out of my mouth and he laughed and said: ‘It’s just air.’


“I pushed him away because he was getting very close and he came closer very aggressively.”


The pair returned to Ms Parra’s home. “We went upstairs and he was laughing at me and I think I pushed him again.


“He straight away punched me with his fist towards my nose, two or three times.


“I remember that I was very scared and that I needed to run away and I just started bleeding straight away.


“His eyes were empty, he was a monster.”


She said Roach snapped: “Don’t punch me,” before knocking her onto the bed and following up with a second blow.


“All the time the other woman was on my phone and my nose would not stop bleeding,” added Ms Parra.


Roach told the jury: “I was in a relationship with both women at the same time.”


Her met the second woman on Tinder and claimed he was attempting to break-up with her that day.”


The prosecutor told the court Roach was questioned by the police. “He claims she became aggressive and he had to use self-defence.”

Liberty X Singer Jessica Pietersen Beats Speeding Charge

Jessica & Kevin Pietersen
Liberty X singer Jessica Pietersen beat a speeding charge after hiring celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman - known as ‘Mr Loophole’.

The 45 year-old star, who is married to former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, 45, did not appear at Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court, where the case was dropped.


The mother-of-two, who lives in a £4.5m six-bedroom detached home on private Shrubbs Hill Lane, Sunningdale, Ascot had always fought the charge.


She was accused of driving her black three-litre diesel Land Rover in excess of the 20mph speed limit on the A4 Cromwell Road, near the junction with Kenway Road, Earl’s Court on November 21, last year.


The prosecution had alleged the Preston-born star was caught on a speed camera travelling at 28mph in the 20mph zone in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.


Mr Freeman did not appear today, but his firm Freeman’s was instructed by Pietersen, who was represented by barrister Natalie Bird.


Prosecutor Mr John Shepherd told the court: “We will be offering no evidence for various technical reasons.”


“I have spoken to a Crown Prosecution Service manager and my instructions are to offer no evidence in relation to Mrs Pietersen and for the matter to be dismissed and that is all I have to say.”


Ms Bird also declined to explain why the case was dropped and applied for defence costs on behalf of the absent Pietersen.


“She has been paying privately for representation so there is an application for a defence sots order.”


Liberty X was formed when finishing runner-up to Hear’Say in 2001’s ‘Popstars’ reality show.


The group signed a multi-million pound record deal with Richard Branson’s V2 Records, releasing three albums seven Top 10 singles, including number one hit ‘Just a Little.’

Schoolteacher Recorded Naked Males At Local Gym

A disgraced schoolteacher, who tried to record shower users at his local gym, destroyed his career and is now working as a postman, a court heard.

English teacher and former Deputy Head of House at Berkshire’s Sandhurst School, Hein Dinkelmann, 36, was arrested at work and has not been back since.


The University of Johannesburg graduate, of The Courtyard, Southwell Park Road, Camberley, Surrey fought the charges for over three years, but was eventually convicted by a jury.


He was found guilty by a Chichester Crown Court jury of two counts of attempted voyeurism on March 15 and April 8, 2022 at the Camberley gym.


Last Friday, Recorder David Brock told him at Brighton Law Courts: “At your local gym you twice attempted to take photo or video footage, using your phone of two males, a man and a fifteen year-old boy.


“You placed your phone through the gap in the partition at the bottom of the shower and were seen on both occasions, but managed to get away.


“CCTV was examined and you were identified via the membership card you swiped in with.”


After his arrest Surrey Police examined Dinkelmann’s phone and found further images of unidentified naked males in showers.


Dinkelmann had also recorded himself in the same gym changing rooms indecently exposing himself.


“Your argument that it was somebody else was rejected by the jury,” Recorder Brock told the first-time offender.


“On both occasions you were seen, but got away.”


Recorder Brock said before sentencing Dinkelmann: “He should not have brought this to trial at all. 


“He is riddled with guilt, it was overwhelming, it was an overwhelming case.


“He is a postman now isn’t het he? He obviously has got some interest in taking photos of men in showers.”


Prosecutor Alice Holloway told the court Dinkelmann only attended the gym for ten to fifteen minutes on both occasions and made a deliberate attempt to record the showering victims.


“I was arrested at school,” Dinkelmann told the court, adding he has not returned to Sandhurst since.


Sandhurst is a coeducational school for both boys and girls aged eleven to eighteen years-old.


“I am not going to send you into custody,” Recorder Brock told him, placing Dinkelmann on a twelve-month Community Order, which includes 20 days of rehabilitation.


He ordered him to pay £2,000 costs a £95 victim surcharge and made him subject to a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which prohibits him taking any recording device into any gym or leisure centre.


“If you breach that order you will go to prison.”

Trans Advocate Has Dancefloor Sex Charge Dropped

A transgender rights campaigner has been cleared of groping a female between the legs on the dance floor of a ‘Killing Kittens’ party at the Ministry of Sound.

Cynthia Fortlage, 60, who describes themselves as an “award-winning global gender diversity consultant, speaker, mentor, writer,” had always fought the charge and it was dropped two weeks before the trial.


Irish-born Fortlage, of Gillies Street, Kentish Town was charged with assault by penetration at the landmark Elephant and Castle venue in south London on December 29, 2022.


Fortlage pleaded not guilty and was due to stand trial at Inner London Crown Court on December 1, but the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence during a short hearing last week.


Fortlage always denied there was any physical contact on the dance floor, but did say there was consensual kissing with the complainant in the club.


In 2024 Fortlage was a ‘Hero of the Year’ finalist at the British Diversity Awards and also served on the board of Outright International, a global LGBTIQ organisation.


The IT executive claims to have spoken at over 475 events in over thirty countries and was National Board Chair for ‘Women’s March Canada’ and Board President of the ‘Rainbow Resource Centre.’

Emergency Call Centre Boss Sentenced For Harassing Female Colleague

Guilty: Wayne O'Sullivan
A police 999 emergency call centre boss, who claimed singer Ronan Keating was his cousin and sent fake messages from the star to a married female colleague he became infatuated with, has been sentenced.

Wayne O’Sullivan, 46, a supervisor at Met Command and Control, also dramatically smashed an “elaborate” Easter egg he bought for the woman into the office bin when she rejected the gift.


He also gave her the pet name ‘Brunchie’ in WhatsApp messages and gave her a note in the emergency call centre addressed to ‘Miss FussyKnickers,’ Croydon Magistrates’ Court was told.


Married O’Sullivan, of Watson Way, Stanstead was convicted of harassing Samantha Davis between June 4 and June 7, last year.


District Judge Polly Gledhill told the first-time offender, who fought the charge for over a year: “This is an offence over a prolonged period.


“You set up a fake WhatsApp account. You contacted the victim and the evidence was that you also planned to send a number of very sinister emails.


“It was persistent conduct intended to maximise fear.”


O’Sullivan received an eighteen-month Community Order, which includes twenty-eight days rehabilitation.


He was also made subject to a two-year restraining order, prohibiting contact with Ms Davis.


O’Sullivan must also pay a £500 fine, plus £650 costs and a £114 victim surcharge.


Mrs Davis told the trial she has worked at the Metropolitan Police’s Lambeth centre for 17 years and O’Sullivan was her supervisor.


They were platonic friends, but married O’Sullivan began giving her unwanted gifts such as expensive Jimmy Choo perfume, called ‘I Want Choo.’


He also bought her hair care products and Italian liqueur Disaronno.


“He was up and down, like Jekyll and Hyde and was putting a lot of his worries on me,” Mrs Davis told the court from behind a screen. 


“He would get angry if I did not reply to his messages straight away and it got too much. I felt like I was being watched.”


On March 27, last year she received a ‘goodie bag’ from O’Sullivan, including a signed picture of rock group Queen; an autographed photo of Ronan Keating; chocolate and hair care products.


“Her said Ronan Keating was his cousin, but said to keep it quiet,” explained Mrs Davis, adding her husband Les was not thrilled about O’Sullivan’s attention.


“He was not happy and did not think it was normal behaviour. It was all unwanted attention and constant text messages and I found the Jimmy Choo perfume quite creepy.


“He was intimidating me and liked to play the victim and make me look wrong all the time and that I was not grateful.”


Work Colleague: Samantha Davis

During the complainant’s period of sick leave O’Sullivan also deposited £2,000 and then two payments of £1,000 into her bank account, which she returned.


“He said: ‘I want to help you.’ He did not realise the dread I was feeling.”


On March 30, last year O’Sullivan placed an Easter egg on her desk in full view of work colleagues, attaching a note, which read: ‘This is your Easter egg. I’ve had it for four weeks. Fell free to put it in the bin or give it away.’


“It was quite a big, elaborate Easter egg. I was embarrassed and mortified,” said Mrs Davis, who returned the gift to the defendant’s desk.


She also added a note, which read: ‘I can’t believe you left this on my desk with this note for everyone to see. I’ve told you how much trouble your gifts give me. No more presents. Stop.’


“He stormed across the room and launched the egg into the empty bin with such force the partition shook and the noise caused me and my colleagues to jump. It was quite scary and he had a red, angry face.”


She blocked O’Sullivan on WhatsApp, but not before telling him he was “narcissist” and “controlling”. 


“I sent him that message, telling him what I thought of him.


“It was awful, unbearable to be at the office. He would face in the direction I sat and watch me with this red, angry face all the time.


“It was horrible. I did not feel safe going to work. I was afraid to go down to the car park to my car in case he was there.”


While busy despatching police to emergency calls Mrs Davis felt O’Sullivan’s presence near her desk as he gave her a birthday note, addressing her as ‘Miss FussyKnickers’.


“What was a few minutes felt like a lifetime as he stood in front of me while I was working.”


The defendant followed up with more unwanted phone texts like: “It hurts so much. Why don’t you care about me anymore? It’s a living hell, you must have noticed the weight I lost and I feel like jumping in front of a bus.”


A bogus message purportedly from Ronan Keating asked the victim to have sympathy for O’Sullivan. “He sits on his own in his car at the scene of his daughter’s death.”


Things took a more sinister turn when O’Sullivan posed as the female partner of a former control centre employee, Luke, accusing the victim of an affair with her one time colleague.


One message read: “Stop contacting my Luke, you bitch,” and another: “Block him and stop contacting him or I will destroy your marriage.”


O’Sullivan included the correct phone number of Mrs Davis’ husband in some of the messages.


The victim was ordered to comply or face consequences. “This way everyone keeps their partners and it won’t get messy.”


“I thought it was Wayne straight away. In his phone text messages he puts a full stop after a question mark and that is incorrect grammar,” said Mrs Davis.


“In the Ronan Keating one’s the same grammatical error is there with the question mark.”


Police also exposed that even though O’Sullivan switched SIM cards, the harassing messages came from his phone.


He claimed a woman called ‘Chloe’, who he enjoyed a brief affair with, sent the messages when she borrowed his phone to play an installed game.


O’Sullivan told the trial he was under tremendous mental strain at the time as he was suspended and subject to a nine-month disciplinary investigation over his handling of a missing person report that ended in tragedy.


“I dismissed the missing person report and later the person was found dead in their flat,” he told the trial. “I had a breakdown of sorts and lost three stone in weight.


“I was suspended, distraught. I needed medical help, but was too embarrassed to ask for help.”


During his suspension O’Sullivan was still expected to complete his hours in the office, where he spent most of his time on his iPad.


Regarding Mrs Davis he said: “We became very close friends emotionally. She has cried down the phone to me twice and told me of her troubles and I told her mine.”


On the birthday note he explained: “I was trying to make things up and apologise and say I really cared for her as a friend.


“Because I was suspended I was left to sit in a chair for twelve hours with northing to do.”


He admitted sending the Ronan Keating texts. “That was me crying for help again.”


O’Sullivan insisted Chloe, who he has lost contact with, was responsible for the more sinister messages. “That is her trying to copy my style of writing.


“I did not send those messages, I don’t understand that style. I do not message in that style as I am dyslexic and I don’t understand it.”


When Mrs Davis reported O’Sullivan he was arrested at 4.00am and spent fifteen hours in a police cell.


Prosecutor Paul Douglas put to him: “You decided you were going to do everything you could to ruin her marriage didn’t you? By the beginning of March you had already began planning how to ruin her marriage.


“You decided to take revenge on her didn’t you? You wanted to cause her really serious distress in the office with the messages you sent.”


O’Sullivan continued denying the charge. “I didn’t do those one’s. It wasn’t me.”


However, District Judge Polly Gledhill rejected his evidence and convicted O’Sullivan.
