Beauty contestant accused of wounding

A former Miss World contestant has appeared in court accused of attacking another woman with a bottle.

Beauty queen Sophie Williams, 19, won the Miss Wales contest in 2000 under her maiden name of Cahill.

She is charged with wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm and an alternative charge of wounding.

She is alleged to have launched the attack on November 13 last year.

Williams spoke only to confirm her name during the five minute hearing at Newport Crown Court, where she appeared wearing an ankle-length black coat, black trousers and top.

The defendant, of Wyeverne Road, Beachley, Chepstow, flew to the Maldives to take part in the Miss World contest after being crowned Miss Wales.

Judge David Morris released her on unconditional bail to appear for a plea and directions hearing on January 16.

COURT SAYS GERMANS CAN STICK TONGUE OUT FOR PASSPORT PHOTO

Written by Administrators on 2:20 AM

ARNSBERG, Germany -- Germans are now allowed to stick their tongues out in their passport photos. A 30-year-old man from Arnsberg brought about the new court ruling when he appealed a local passport office's decision to turn down his passport photo because he had his tongue sticking out. The court found there was no rule in German prohibiting the man from doing so, but made him sign a statement that he wouldn't take the issue to court again if he had problems with border patrol officers.

Cops Nab Fake Gynecologist
Dallas fraud offered free breast exams, enemas, pap smears

SEPTEMBER 30--Meet Thomas Remo. The 50-year-old Texas sleazeball is facing felony charges for posing as a doctor and offering unsuspecting patients free gynecological services. After busting Remo in an undercover sting, investigators are now trying to identify Dallas women who may have been victimized by Remo, who advertised his services--which included pap smears and "vaginal irrigation"--in a weekly newspaper. Remo ran his scam, remarkably, from an office at a self-storage facility, where he greeted one female undercover agent wearing white pants and a "white medical scrub shirt," according to these creepy Dallas County Sheriff's Department reports. Remo completed the look by wearing a stethoscope around his neck. Remo, who is being held without bond in a Dallas lockup, faces a maximum of ten years in prison if convicted of the medical charade.
