A CLUB-GOER who grabbed a bouncer’s privates after falling down the stairs has been ordered to pay her victim compensation.
Tracey Ahmet, 38, of Portsmouth Road, Clacton had been a “perfect customer” at a Clacton nightclub where she was a regular, a court heard.
But last January she became involved in a row in the toilets of Fibbers.
Ahmet fell down a flight of stairs as she was being escorted from the building.
She then grabbed hold of doorman Thomas Pryke’s private parts and “squeezed hard”, leaving a puncture mark.
The mum-of-two had denied assault but was convicted at an earlier trial.
Ben Gordon, mitigating, said she had behaved “completely and utterly out of character” and was usually as “good as gold”.
The court heard Ahmet was now banned from the nightclub.
She was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £100 compensation and £100 costs.
