Oxford student Lavinia Woodward spared jail for knife attack
An "extraordinary" Oxford University student who stabbed her boyfriend in the leg has avoided a prison sentence.
Lavinia Woodward, 24, admitted attacking the man at her student accommodation at Christ Church College after drinking heavily.
At an earlier hearing Judge Ian Pringle QC said he believed a custodial sentence would damage her career.
On Monday she was given a 10-month jail sentence suspended for 18 months for inflicting unlawful wounding.
Oxford Crown Court heard Woodward attacked her then boyfriend, who she had met on dating app Tinder, while he was visiting her in December.

She became angry when he contacted her mother on Skype after he realised she had been drinking.
She threw a laptop at him and stabbed him in the lower leg with a breadknife, also injuring two of his fingers. Woodward then tried to stab herself with the knife before he disarmed her.

There is no way a man would have got away with this without a custodial sentence.
