A Ukrainian refugee who was dumped by her married UK lover after they eloped on a whirlwind affair has appeared in court charged with assaulting an emergency worker.
Sofiia Karkadym pleaded guilty to the charge when she appeared at Bradford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, reports Yorkshire Live.
The 23-year-old made headlines last year when she began a romance with Tony Garnett, 30, who left his partner of 10 years and two children to be with her after the family took her in as a refugee.
Sofiia fled the Russian invasion and travelled from Lviv to West Yorkshire, where she stayed with them for less than two weeks before ending up in a relationship with Tony.
