Mile High Flight Attendant Lisa Cherie Robertson Pleads Guilty to Hiding Money

Here is yet another update in the continuing pathetic story that is the Mile High Flight Attendant:

A FORMER airline flight attendant who infamously had “mile-high” sex with actor Ralph Fiennes in a Qantas toilet hid a $201,000 windfall she made for selling her kiss-and-tell story to a British tabloid and 60 Minutes.

Sacked stewardess, ex-undercover policewoman, onetime call-girl and undischarged bankrupt, Lisa Cherie Robertson, wiped away tears after pleading guilty yesterday to concealing the funds from trustees who were chasing her over debts of $460,000.

Blonde, statuesque and trembling, Robertson faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court where her “15 minutes of fame” was retold and the court heard she existed now as a “hermit trying to live down her past”.

Robertson, 41, also pleaded guilty to attempting to leave Australia for a Thai holiday despite a ban on international travel as a bankrupt. She had suffered from depression since disarming another policeman who shot and killed a fellow officer in NSW, defence lawyer Sue Macgregor told the court.

After leaving the force, she sued NSW police but lost the case and was ordered to pay the Crown’s $300,000 legal costs, sending her bankrupt, the court heard.

But after getting paid for her Fiennes sex story in 2007, Robertson put the funds into an international account. Ms Macgregor said she was later conned of the money.

Magistrate Phillip Goldberg, noting Robertson had been warned at the time she sold her story that money from the media deal was to be handed over to the trustee, ordered she be assessed for a community-based order and return to court next Tuesday.  [The Daily Telegraph]
