A FORMER model told a judge yesterday that as a result of an accident she had been left with a permanent vampire-like bite mark on her "bum".
Julian Fallon, head of First Option Model Agency, was awarded damages in the Circuit Civil Court against The Factory Ltd., a complex of rehearsal and recording studios.
She told Judge Frank O'Donnell she fell through a ceiling while recovering equipment from an attic in the Barrow Street, Dublin, premises owned by Robbie Wooten, former manager of Hot House Flowers.
Ms Fallon, of Sherrard Avenue, Dublin, said her legs had been left dangling through the ceiling of a hallway underneath, and she had to extricate herself by raising her body as a beam acrobat would. "I was left straddling one of the attic beams and my bum was perforated by two nails," she told her counsel Gary Mc Carthy.
She now had two little circular scars like a vampire bite on her left buttock.
"They are noticeable when I wear a bikini and they are embarrassing," she told Mr Mc Carthy.
Ms Fallon said that when the accident occurred four years ago, she had been running a grooming academy for various personalities and aspiring teenage models.
She said she had rented a studio and office at The Factory and each weekend had to store equipment in the attic. Every Monday morning the equipment would have to be retrieved, and it was while doing so that the accident happened.
She told Patrick O'Reilly, counsel for The Factory, that she had never been warned not to enter the attic by herself.
Judge O'Donnell, in awarding her £5,000 damages, said Ms Fallon had to bear 50pc responsibility for her accident, and reduced the decree.
Afterwards Ms Fallon said: "I will be giving my award to charity, probably to the unfortunate children of Afghanistan."
