Jasmine Agostini, 23, is set to stand trial in Berkeley, southern Wollongong, Australia, after a man was allegedly attacked with a kettle bell and sexually assaulted with a frying pan
A young woman who lured a man to her home allegedly hit him with a kettle bell before sexually assaulting him with a frying pan.
Jasmine Agostini, 23, is said to have brought the man over with the pretence of selling drugs in September 2022. However when he arrived he found her with two other men and he was hit over the head with the kettle bell before the allegation of sexual assault with the cooking implement.
Agostini was arrested two days later and granted bail two-and-a-half months later. She later vanished five days into a trial in August 2024, blaming her absence on catching Covid. When she did not return, the judge called a mistrial. She was caught just over a week later and remanded in custody.
She is set to face trial again later this year in Berkeley, southern Wollongong, Australia, but this time has been denied bail, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Desmond Fagan described the risk of breaching the bail as “unacceptable”. He added it was alleged she “was part of a joint criminal enterprise to carry out those offences of violence”.
He told proceedings: “[the court’s administration of justice cannot be] placed at the mercy of the erratic conduct of an applicant such as this.” He added “no conditions could ameliorate that risk”
She pleaded not guilty to aggravated sexual assault in company and depriving liberty, aggravated robbery and inflicting actual bodily harm, kidnapping in company occasioning actual bodily harm, stealing from a person and possessing a prohibited drug.
The trial date has been scheduled to take place in May this year.
