A heavily pregnant OnlyFans model, who is just days away from giving birth, has been jailed for her involvement in a shocking attack outside a popular bar.
Talia Jade Haythorpe, 23, was found to be the ringleader of the vile attack on a trader after he left the Watermark Hotel in Glenelg, Adelaide, in September 2021.
The victim was approached by Haythorpe and a group of people in the early hours of the morning, the South Australian District Court heard during the model’s sentencing.
Although the conversation was friendly, the situation quickly escalated after the man walked away, The Advertiser reported.
“As the victim walked away from the conversation, he felt several blows to the back of his head and fell to the ground,” Judge Anthony Allen said.
“He felt excruciating pain in his right knee.”
The court heard Haythorpe stood over the victim on the ground and kicked him in the head as she laughed.
She then bit the man’s arm and grabbed his wallet, while the group she was with kicked and punched him before stealing his phone and keys.

The attackers then left the scene, but Haythorpe returned shortly after.
“You approached the victim and asked for his phone PIN and bank details before kicking him in the head again,” Judge Allen told her.
“It goes without saying that this was a completely unnecessary and unprovoked attack.”
Police found the seriously injured victim across the road and footpath at 2.38am.
The man was rushed to Flinders Medical Centre, where he underwent knee surgery.
The man described himself in his victim impact statement as a fit professional before the attack, but was now unable to return to work.
“He describes never fully recovering from the injuries he sustained,” Judge Allen said.
The OnlyFans model pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery.
The court was told Haythorpe had had a traumatic childhood, had been homeless since she was 14 and was addicted to methamphetamine.

“Against that background, it is remarkable that the act you bring before this court is your first offence of criminal behaviour,” Judge Allen said.
Haythorpe’s lawyer asked for a community order because the model was now 38 weeks pregnant.
But Judge Allen concluded the attack was too serious and sentenced Haythorpe to two years and 11 months in prison.
The expectant mother was given a non-parole period of 14 months.
“You were the ringleader of a vicious street robbery of an innocent member of the public, which resulted in life-changing injuries to your victim,” he said.
The sentence was reduced to June 25.
Haythorpe could be released as early as August next year.
