A British stripper and her boyfriend were sentenced to jail on Tuesday for robbing a fellow exotic dancer of more than $11,000 in tips during a jealousy-fueled theft last January, a report said.
Gemma Lyons, 29, and her 36-year-old lover Nicholas Proctor were given sentences of two and five years, respectively, for the brutal early-morning attack on former Honeypot gentleman’s club dancer Mihaela Sasarman, The Sun reported.
Prosecutors said Lyons became enraged and “hatched a plan” when a generous client that she had tried to entertain ended up showering the victim with piles of cash at the club in Maidenhead, Berks, according to the report.
Sasarman ended up earning over $11,000 on Jan. 30 — the night preceding the crime.
Early the next morning when Sasarman left the club en route to the subway, Lyons and Proctor stalked her before the man attacked, the report said.
Authorities said Proctor punched the victim in her head and wrestled her bag away — causing the cash to spill onto the ground.
Sasarman suffered a bruise and cut in the attack.
“To find out a co-worker was responsible shook me,” Sasarman said in a victim impact statement, according to the report.
“I thought we would look out for each other and not prey on each other.”
