Naomi Campbell pleads guilty 2007-01-17

Naomi Campbell has pleaded guilty to assaulting her maid, Ana Scolavino.

The supermodel was sentenced to five days community service, two days of anger management courses, and was ordered to pay Scolavino's $362.32 medical bill.

Naomi said in a statement: "I threw a cell phone in the apartment. The cell phone hit Ana.

"This was an accident. I did not intend to hit her. I am advised that Ana was hurt and I am deeply sorry about that."

Her lawyer, David Breitbart, begged the New York court not to give her the same punishment as 80s pop singer Boy George who was hounded by paparazzi as he swept the streets as part of a community service sentence.

New York Probation Service worker, Jack Ryan, told Britain's Sun newspaper: "This counts as punishment so Naomi won't get a choice what she does. She won't be given a task she enjoys. If she is sent to work in a hospital cleaning, she will be doing everything the usual cleaners do. There will be no special treatment."


Naomi was charged with wreckless assault in the third degree for throwing a crystal-studded BlackBerry at her maid last March after accusing her of stealing a pair of jeans.
