Drunk model assaulted officer after lingerie show

[Andrew R]

THE start of Lauren Elizabeth Genger's night was spent wearing lingerie as she walked the runway inside a Kings Cross nightclub. It ended with her wearing handcuffs in the back of a police van.
The model was convicted yesterday in the Downing Centre Local Court of assaulting police after she punched an officer in the face and then kicked him in the groin in the early hours of July 28.
The 25-year-old from Chatswood had spent the night modelling in the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Show held inside the popular Trademark nightclub in Kings Cross.

Afterwards, she had enjoyed a few cocktails, until club security thought she was too drunk and escorted her outside.

Officers warned the model her failure to leave the club when drunk would mean she would have to pay a $550 fine.
Genger became aggressive towards police before trying to walk off while saying ''I don't give a shit''.
Police grabbed her by the arm and she became more agitated, screaming and yelling at the officers.
Without warning she closed her right fist and hit Constable Antony Damiano in the left eye. She was arrested, handcuffed and told she would be charged with assaulting police and resisting arrest.
As officers began walking her towards their police van she took a step forward and, with her right leg, kneed Constable Damiano in the groin.

She was taken to Kings Cross police station where she was formally charged with the three offences but was unable to take part in a recorded interview because she was too drunk.
''The accused remained unco-operative and argumentative whilst in police custody,'' documents before the court stated.
When she appeared before the court yesterday, Genger's solicitor said his client was embarrassed by the events of that night. He said she had not been given modelling work since and was concerned by the impact it would have on her career.
The magistrate Jane Mottley said police had a tough job patrolling the Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and Oxford Street areas and that it was unacceptable for officers to be attacked.
She fined Genger $1100 and put her on a two-year good behaviour bond
