Naomi Campbell Charged with Assault and Other Crimes

The Crown Prosecution Service says Naomi Campbell faces six charges, three counts of assaulting a constable, two counts of using threatening, abusive words or behavior to the cabin crew, and one count of disorderly conduct. Police said the assault charges related to two officers. (Earlier reports today said the charges would total 5, however, new information from prosecutors makes it clear Naomi faces 6 charges.)

Naomi’s lawyer issued this statement:

"Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed that the prosecutors have advised her she is to be prosecuted for various offences. She respects that decision and she hopes this matter is dealt with expeditiously."

The assault charges carry a maximum sentence of six months in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. The other charges are punishable by a fine. Campbell was ordered to appear at a west London magistrates’ court June 20.

Naomi pleaded guilty to assault in 2000 and 2007, so she might as well make a plea deal this time too.
