Sydney hairdresser Paris Coudounellis pleads guilty to AVO breach

·

A Phillip Bay hairdresser, Paris Coudounellis, pleaded guilty in Waverley Local Court on Monday, March 31, to breaching an apprehended violence order (AVO) and other charges related to her ex-boyfriend, Luke Paterson.

Coudounellis, 20, had previously pleaded guilty to common assault and three counts of damaging property.

Court documents revealed a troubled two-year on-and-off relationship between Coudounellis and Paterson. In June 2024, she cut through Paterson’s bedroom flyscreens and climbed into his bed.

On another occasion, after being offered a ride home by Paterson, Coudounellis confronted him about another woman, assaulted him, and caused $1,400 in damage to his car.

In June 2024, Paris Coudounellis cut through Paterson’s bedroom flyscreens and climbed into his bed.

An AVO was placed on Coudounellis in August 2024, barring her from contacting Paterson. However, on her birthday this past Sunday, after drinking at The Juniors Kingsford, she allowed Paterson to enter her bedroom window at 2.30 am.

He allegedly assaulted her, leading to her report to police. During questioning, Coudounellis admitted to breaching the AVO, claiming she was intoxicated and unaware of the consequences.

Her lawyer argued Coudounellis had no criminal history, was employed as a hairdresser, and had strong community ties. Magistrate George Zdenkowski granted her conditional bail, with her sentencing set for May 7.

Paterson, who was also charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, has not yet entered a plea and will appear in court on April 3.
