Husband opposed restraining order
Moore pleaded guilty at Southampton Crown Court to three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Her husband, Rob Moore, attended the hearing and left court with her.
Prosecutor Andrew Coley told the court that Mr. Moore did not support a restraining order and had asked that his victim impact statement not be read aloud. No reason was reported for his position on the order.
Judge Gary Lucie called the statement "magnanimous" in light of the assaults. He described the attack involving feces as "gratuitous degradation."
Assault followed an argument over pub visits
The attack took place at about 6 p.m. on August 20, 2026, at the couple's farmhouse in Damerham, near Hampshire's New Forest National Park. The property was valued at $1.35 million, or about £1 million. Moore had hit her husband across the back with a broom handle three days earlier.
Earlier on the afternoon of the August 20 assault, the couple argued about leaving a pub. They stopped at another pub on the way home, but Moore was refused entry. According to Coley, she believed her husband "had not stood up for her" and called him "boring." The ill feeling continued after they returned home.
Before pushing her husband onto their bed and forcing excrement into his mouth, Moore said, "You talk so much s---, I'm going to make you eat it". Coley characterized the assault as "premeditated" and said it carried a risk of disease transmission.
After breaking free, Mr. Moore took a photograph of himself, then washed and changed his clothes. The court saw that image as well as photographs documenting earlier injuries: a cut above his eye, another minor injury and redness on his back. Prosecutors described the earlier attacks as involving a ring and a broom handle.
Moore declined to answer questions during her police interview following her arrest. She subsequently submitted a written statement that Coley described as a "bare denial."
Defense cited treatment and family losses
Defense attorney Rose Burns said Moore accepted "full blame," "completely regrets" what she had done and wanted to change her behavior and explore reconciliation. She had sought private care at the Priory for depression and to review her relationship with alcohol.
The losses cited in mitigation included her father's death in 2024 and her mother's in 2025. Her sister died earlier in 2026 after suffering a head injury in a fall down stairs. Moore had also recently lost an uncle and her dog.
Burns also told the court that Moore perceived an imbalance in the marriage, saying her husband controlled the finances. "She wanted to sell up and he didn't," Burns said.
Judge Lucie said those personal difficulties did not excuse the violence. Addressing Moore's drinking, he said, "I see day in, day out, people who abuse alcohol and it is the root of their offending", adding, "You don't seem to yet accept that is your case."
Remand and earlier convictions
Before the November 2026 sentencing, Moore had spent three weeks on remand at HMP Bronzefield. She was reported to be staying in an Airbnb in Wimborne, Dorset, at the time of the hearing.
Her record included convictions for driving with excess alcohol, assault by beating and using violence to secure entry to premises. The court also heard about an April 6, 2022, incident in Damerham involving her builder's partner.
Moore, reportedly "besotted" with the builder, went to his home and attacked his partner on the doorstep, pulling out a clump of the woman's hair. She contested the charges but was convicted at Southampton Magistrates' Court.
For that case, Moore received a 12-month restraining order and was barred from entering a Damerham street for one year. The sentence also included a rehabilitation activity requirement, 100 hours of unpaid community work, £500 in compensation to the victim and £715 in court charges.
