A sommelier has been found guilty of assaulting a woman in Putney after biting a woman during sex.

32-year-old Arnaud Bardary had been celebrating his departure from Gordon Ramsay's Maze restaurant with a party at which a colleague, according to his defence Anne McCarthy said, '(she) came on very strong' and bared her breasts to him. Bardary invited her back to his Putney flat where they drank champagne and had consensual sex.

Prosecutor Edward Aydin said that Bardary turned violent, repeatedly biting her arms, while they were in bed together. He said that the victim asked him to stop but Bardary continued biting her five times.

Before she left the flat by taxi they finished the champagne but once home she decided to report the incident to the police.

Bardary told police officers that they had had rough sex using the phrase that 'he banged her hard' however his defence told the court that her client was in 'a state of shock' and that he did not intend to assault his colleague.

Bardary, pleaded guilty to one count of assault by beating and was fined £250 and told to pay £150 compensation to the victim yesterday, after pleading guilty to one count of assault by beating. He was also ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

Bardary no longer lives in Putney and is now resident in western France.
