A man who said his ex-girlfriend loved her vibrator more than him has been ordered to pay £50 in compensation.

Richard Moore, 33, broke the £30 vibrator and a pair of £20 sunglasses that he had bought for Sarah Mills while they were going out.

He had gone round to the home they shared in Croydon, South London, to pick up some things when he broke them.

Moore, previously said: ‘I was fed up. I’ve gone to get my stuff and I came across the glasses and smashed them.


‘Then I found the dildo and I just ripped it up. It was one of those bullet ones.



‘She loved the dildo more than me, that’s why I got the hump with it. I bought it, it cost me £30.’

She claimed the glasses were £200 Ray-Bans, but the judge dismissed this.

Jibram Mirza, in mitigation, said: ‘He pleaded guilty at the first opportunity and I would ask you to give him full credit.

‘I have spoken to Mr Moore, and he says he was assaulted by the complainant, went to hospital, was discharged and the next day went to pick up his belongings.

‘He was living at his mother’s address because he didn’t want further confrontation.

‘At his old home he saw the items and in the heat of the moment he damaged them.

‘He is 33-years-old, and has been living with his mother and his two-year-old daughter for the last three months. The complainant has not paid any rent on the property.’

Mr Mirza said Moore had been left with a £6,000 bill and would be ‘seeking financial advice’.

Deputy District Judge Adrian Turner said: ‘It’s listed as a domestic violence case but in reality it’s at the very bottom end.

‘You went back to the property, obviously in a very upset state of mind, but she wasn’t there.’

Moore, of Orpington, south-east London was given a month to pay his ex £50 for the damage.

Speaking after the hearing, Mr Mirza, Moore’s lawyer, said: ‘I’m glad we can finally put this matter to bed.’
