A 35-year-old Lydney woman has admitted twice assaulting a man in Gloucester - but has denied that her violence towards him was racially aggravated.

Prosecutors are now to review the basis of Amy Cooper's pleas before the case proceeds further.

At Cheltenham Magistrates Court last week Cooper, of Tulip Walk, Lydney, admitted two charges of assaulting the same man by beating him on 30th June 2025.

She pleaded not guilty however, to two charges alleging that she committed racially aggravated assaults on the man.

Additionally, Cooper was charged with racially aggravated harassment of the man on the same date.

The charge alleges that with intent to cause him harassment, alarm or distress she used threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards him. She has not yet entered any plea to that charge.

Cooper was unconditionally bailed to give the Crown Prosecution Service to consider the basis of her pleas. The case was adjourned until 27th August.

Why do we report court stories?

The public has a right to know what happens in court, and reporting helps to ensure that justice is done transparently, open to scrutiny and can be held to account. This principle is known as open justice.

Our journalists act as independent witnesses on behalf of the public. They explain proceedings that can otherwise feel technical, overwhelming or inaccessible, helping people understand what was decided and why.

Without court reporting, justice would take place behind closed doors.

Regulation supports, rather than undermines, public interest journalism by setting clear boundaries. We are regulated by IPSO and we must follow the Editors’ Code of Practice, which sets clear standards for accuracy, fairness and sensitivity.

Identifying defendants is part of open justice. Where possible, naming defendants ensures accountability, avoids secret justice, and allows the public to distinguish between allegations, acquittals and convictions.

It also helps prevent mistaken identity and rumour, which is also the case for identifying addresses of defendants.
