A teen who egged her parents’ home just hours after avoiding jail for assaulting them has been fined £1.

Zoe Dunn, 18, was handed a restraining order at Margate Magistrates’ Court in January, preventing her from contacting her mum and dad.

But just hours after being spared jail, Dunn, of Broadstairs, trampled over the court order to throw eggs at their house and send them disturbing messages.

The 18-year-old first appeared at Margate Magistrates’ Court on January 6, where she was sentenced for a series of offences.

She had admitted to assaulting her parents and two police officers on January 4, as well as further assaults on four officers on January 5.

But during the hearing she narrowly avoided prison, with her 17-week sentence suspended for 18 months, and handed a restraining order preventing her from contacting her parents.

It was shortly after the hearing she breached the restraining order by drawing up to her parents’ home and launching eggs at it. Following her subsequent arrest the case was committed to the crown court for sentence.

At Canterbury Crown Court on Thursday (May 15), prosecutor Elisenda Mitchell said no sooner had the teenager left court than she turned up at her parents’ house with a box of eggs.

“She threw eggs at the family home’s door and windows,” said Ms Mitchell.

“Then she sent disturbing messages to her mother, saying she was going to slit her throat and feed her to the cat.

“When the police arrived, she turned to her father and said, ‘You p***y, I’ll f***ing stab the s**t out of you.”

Dunn, of Broadstairs, was brought back before Margate magistrates the following day and admitted threatening to kill her father, criminal damage and two counts of sending threatening or intimidating messages.

In a victim impact statement read aloud at the sentencing hearing at Canterbury, Zoe’s mum said she was sick with fear.

“I’m not eating or sleeping,” said the statement.

“I’m not myself at all because, underneath all of this, Zoe is still my daughter and I’m scared and worried for her.”

Handing down Dunn’s sentence, recorder David Jeremy KC described her as “a troubled young woman”, with a low level of cognitive functioning, autism and ADHD.

“You’ve been a rather difficult teenager for your family to deal with,” said the judge.

“You will have to learn to manage your own life and stop abusing people.

“Sending you back to prison would do nothing but kick-start the same cycle of bad behaviour once you are released.”

The judge imposed a three-year community order. The teenager will be provided by social services with a home and therapy as part of a structured support package.

Dunn must also complete 30 rehabilitation activity requirement sessions.

“Because you have made yourself such a busy offender, you have made yourself liable to go to prison,” continued judge Jeremy.

“I’m going to activate the suspended sentence order - I’ll be fining you £1 instead of making you serve the 12 weeks.

“The most important person who can really help you is you. So you’d better make a start on that today.”
