A TEEN has been sentenced for an attack in Herefordshire, a court has heard.

Chelsea Terry appeared before magistrates in Dudley on February 12 after admitting one count of assault by beating at an earlier hearing on December 4 last year.

The court heard from prosecutor Nadine Mathurasingh that the 19-year-old had assaulted her victim, another woman, by beating in Leominster on May 22.

She was represented in court by defence solicitor Ms Hicklin.

Terry, of Loxley Close in Redditch, was ordered to pay compensation of £350 to the victim and received an 18-month community order.

No costs or victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime, were ordered to be paid as magistrates opted to favour compensation.

Terry must pay the compensation, which will go to the victim, in full by March 11.
