BEIJING, March 27 (Xinhuanet) -- A woman charged with trespassing1 on music supremo Simon Cowell's property appeared in a London court on Monday.
Leanne Zaloumis, 29, breaking into Cowell's house wielding2 a broken brick and then hiding in his wardrobe, was accused of aggravated3 burglary after the incident on Saturday night.
Prosecutors5 said Cowell was watching TV in the bedroom of his mansion6 in West London when he heard a loud bang coming from his bathroom and discovered Zaloumis inside with a brick.
Cowell's security staff confined the intruder to a bedroom until police arrived and found her in the wardrobe. Police officers drew their weapons as they arrested Zaloumis, and later found blood stains in the bathroom, prosecutor4 Paul Mitchell said.
The charge, read out in court, alleges7 that Zaloumis intended to "inflict8 grievous bodily harm upon a person therein and at the time of committing the said burglary had with you a weapon of offense9, namely a broken house brick."
She is also accused of shouting at Cowell and hurling10 items at his bathroom window while standing11 on a roof outside.
Cowell, 52, has gained his fame in both Britain and North America as producer and an acerbic12 judge on TV talent shows including "The X Factor" and "America's Got Talent."
Cowell spokesman Max Clifford said Cowell had described the incident as "just like something out of a horror movie."
The defendant14, who appeared in court with unkempt hair and a baggy15 gray sweat shirt, spoke13 only to confirm her name and address during a brief hearing at West London Magistrates16' Court.
Zaloumis, from Catford, South East London, was ordered detained until her next hearing on June 12.
