A Rock Ferry woman who was glassed by the daughter of an RAF commander says she feels "completely unprotected" after her attacker was released after serving around 30% of her sentence.
Jessica Cloke, daughter of former RAF Akrotiri commander Group Captain Simon Cloke, left Madison Bagley, from the Wirral, with a bad facial wound in Cyprus during an assault at a pub.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Cloke, who was 20 at the time, had been drinking before confronting Ms Bagley. Bagley was her former friend, who she hit with a glass. As a result of her injuries, the victim needed 50 stitches and major facial reconstructive surgery.
At first, Cloke denied causing grievous bodily harm to her ex-friend, but changed her plea to guilty during her trial at a court in Episkopi. Judge Brian Cummings KC sentenced her to 14 months in prison in April 2026.
Unfortunately, the sentence didn't last, as the family of Ms Bagley was informed last week that Cloke was released on licence. Cloke's victim expressed that she felt "completely unprotected" concerning her attacker's release. She said she was "genuinely terrified" and feared Cloke could try to find her again.
Speaking to the Echo, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence confirmed Cloke's release, but said it would "not be appropriate" to comment specifically on the case.
A statement sent to the Echo provided by Ms Bagley's brother MacKenzie spoke about Cloke's release, and mentioned Ms Bagley is constantly "looking over [her] shoulder" for her attacker.
She also spoke in the statement of the emotional and physical trauma of the attack, saying she underwent "serious emotional and physical harm".
Her brother MacKenzie questioned how Cloke had been released, claiming she was the only woman in the prison. There was allegedly no overcrowding.
During sentencing, Judge Cummings KC said Cloke had pursued Ms Bagley, thrown wine in her face and then struck her with the glass after Ms Bagley poured water over her.
The judge rejected any suggestion of self-defence, describing the attack as "drunken anger" and telling Cloke: "You started it. You were the aggressor."
