Beauty therapist admits damaging car after man ‘befriended’ her

A Brazilian beauty therapist took exception to a man taking off her shoes and trying to ‘befriend’ her after they had been drinking together, and she reacted by smashing a bottle of whiskey and causing €4,700 in damage to a car.

Andreza Rocha, aged 36, of Cardinal Court, Wilton, Cork, a Brazilian with Irish citizenship, pleaded guilty yesterday at Cork District Court to a charge of causing damage to a car.

Inspector Bill Duane said Rocha used a key to scrape a car parked outside the house at Harbour Heights, Passage West, Co Cork.
