ITV star Jane Rayner charged with assault
According to reports, the incident between Jane and her unnamed male victim took place on August 14 at the Cooper & Co coffee shop.
She deliberately spat in his face.
Jane apparently recognised him sitting by the window working on his laptop.
“She put up her middle finger,” Said Jersey senior police officer Centenier Paul Huelin in court. “Then she entered the coffee shop and gave him verbal abuse. She deliberately spat in his face. It landed on his face and glasses.”
It is believed the pair had history. Jane’s advocate explained: “She has said previously that he intimidated [her].”
The 59-year-old entrepreneur and reality TV star, said to be worth around £5 million, said that she was “profoundly sorry and embarrassed by her actions”. Her advocate described it as “an incident out of character” for her.
Nevertheless, she was unable to avoid punishment.
“Even if you and the victim are in some disagreement, it does not justify you going into a shop and spitting,” said Relief Magistrate David Le Cornu, as he dealt Jane news of her £1,500 fine.
