A woman who exposed her genitals to cause alarm and assaulted another person has been jailed.

Rosie-May Carty, 27, of Walliscote Road, Weston-super-Mare, had her case heard at Taunton Magistrates Court on Friday (February 14).

She was charged with assaulting a woman in North Somerset the day before.

On the same day in Weston-super-Mare she exposed her genitals, intending that someone would see them and be caused alarm or distress, the court heard.

Carty pleaded guilty to both charges and magistrates sentenced her to four weeks in prison and was ordered to pay £122 in compensation.

The court register notes she was imprisoned due to the offence being "so serious because the high level of distress caused, the use of threats and committed whilst on licence."

Carty was also placed on the sex offenders register for seven years. Magistrates made an order for Carty to register with the police from Friday, February 14.
