Criminal History
Woking station town square where Natasha Claus was arrested
On July 29, 2017 Natasha Claus was caught riding naked on a motorcycle, getting fingered on a high street filled with shoppers, punched a blind man and racially abusing a police officer in Woking.
Judge Peter Ross said the sex act, on 29 July, was "no doubt for money" and the court heard that Claus was known to target and take advantage financially of vulnerable men living in sheltered accommodation.
"A woman was there with her children and she remonstrated with Ms Claus who then stood up and threatened to punch her," said prosecutor John Upton.
"When Ms Claus was searched at the scene by the police she had done her jeans up but her knickers were found in her handbag."
The prosecutor heard that Claus assaulted a blind man after the council later threatened to evict him from his one bedroom flat because of her anti-social behavior. Upton said: "They had arguments which escalated over various phone calls. She then approached him in the kitchen with either a fist or the palm of her hand. He couldn't tell as he is registered blind."
The court was told that Claus also assaulted two police officers as they tried to arrest her, racially abusing one of them. Upton continued: "PC Hopper took hold of her left arm and PC Haslan her right. She pushed her arms away and resisted. "She kicked PC Hopper in the leg, and yelled "you pi c t" at least twice".
Judge Ross also made reference to another incident, saying: "I had the impression there was some reference to her riding around on a motorbike with no clothes on, but that has nothing to do with the charges today."
Sentencing
Guildford Crown Court in Guildford, Surrey where Natasha Claus was sentenced
On December 28, 2017 Judge Peter Ross said that repeat offender Natasha Claus' life was a "mess" as she was jailed for 13 months for a string of offences. He added:
"You were in a relationship with a blind man, it's a fear that you were abusing your position.
You came into an argument and you struck him in the chest causing him to fall back.
Any assault on a vulnerable person is very serious indeed, as is any attack on the police officers who we have a moral obligation to protect. The outraging public decency charge is as a result of you receiving a sex act in public - no doubt for money. You were seen by a lady who had her children with her and when she was outraged, you abused her. In addition, you were supposed to be here for sentencing this morning and you were late by several hours. You are a mess. Your life is a mess. I spoke to your son earlier and it is a testament to something in your son's life that he's never been to court and finds this whole situation awful. I have made a criminal behavior order against you, restricting your movements and behavior. I have no alternative but to remand you in custody. The sentence I impose on you is as follows: assault on the blind individual, three months in jail; assault by kicking the PC, two months; the racially aggravated abusive behavior on the other officer, two months; for outraging public decency, one month and further month for abusing the lady in the street. I am also activating a period of four months in relation to beaching your suspended jail sentence, as well as one day for breaching bail. "
Natasha Claus had arrived at Guildford Crown Court four hours late where she was also issued with a criminal behaviour order which means she has been barred from Woking town centre in Surrey.

A four-month jail term was also activated as part of a suspended jail sentence, and one day for breaching bail.
A spokesman for Surrey Police said on December 28, 2017: "Natasha Claus has been problematic in and around Woking for sometime and when under the influence, becomes very aggressive towards members of the public.
She is also known to target and take advantage financially of vulnerable men living in accommodation in Sheerwater, near Woking.
The ban is until further notice."
Force anti-social behaviour manager Jo Grimshaw said: "This ban is in place to prevent Natasha from causing further distress to members of the public in and around the Woking area.
It will also protect the vulnerable men whose tenancy was under threat because of her volatile behavior.
