Victoria Mayo, a former ITV journalist, was in court after being accused of “punching and throwing chips” at her boyfriend at Oulton Broad North railway station.
A former ITV journalist was charged with “punching and throwing chips” at her boyfriend in a row. She has now appeared in court. During a “disagreement” at Oulton Broad North railway station, Victoria Mayo, 41, entered a not-guilty plea of assault on Edward Royall.
Victoria told the court that her boyfriend had called the police about the incident when she appeared at Great Yarmouth Magistrates’ Court. He was said to have had his hair pulled during the “altercation” that allegedly took place on February 22.
Rob New, the lawyer representing Victoria, claimed that her boyfriend had informed the court that he would represent the defense at her trial and that he had asked the magistrates to drop the assault charge. He added that the couple “consisted” with this behavior, and he questioned whether it should be brought before the courts.
He questioned whether this behavior constitutes an assault because the couple’s relationship has been consented. The issue is whether a crime has actually occurred because Miss Mayo’s partner will testify for the defense at the trial. According to legend, there was a disagreement at the train station when she allegedly threw things and chips at him.
The alleged attack was documented on CCTV, according to prosecutor John Cooper, and the video would be played at the trial. The video showed her trying to “pull his hair, punch him, and throw chips at him,” according to the statement. During the trial, images of the alleged injuries are also anticipated to be displayed.
Additionally, it was claimed that Edward allegedly called the police “right away” after the incident. However, Victoria’s attorney claimed that the police had arrived at the scene and were already “in the area” for “a different matter.”
During the trial, prosecutor John Cooper requested that Edward’s phone call with the police be audible.
Chairman of the bench Paul Hinson released Victoria on unconditional bail and she is due to attend the trial at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court on September 12, reports Eastern Daily Press.
After previously working for the ITV, BBC, and Global Radio, Victoria now runs her own PR firm. She formally stated her plan by saying, “Hi, I’m Victoria the founder of InspireMe PR! I’ve worked for ITV, BBC, and Global Radio for 16 years, and I’m aware that great PR is all about establishing trust and visibility wherever your target audience is.
“And today,” you ask? Press and social media must both be involved. A successful PR strategy doesn’t just result in you appearing in magazines or on TV; it also results in consistent, credible, and trustworthy content across social media.
