Eleanor Hawkins, former head-girl of Ockbrook School in Derbyshire, has flown home this weekend after being arrested for posing naked on top of a 'sacred' mountain in Malaysia. Eleanor was jailed for three days and ordered to pay an £860 fine.
A young woman from Derby blamed for triggering an earthquake by posing naked on a sacred mountain has pleaded guilty to a public nuisance offence, it has been reported.
Backpacker Eleanor Hawkins, 23, admitted the offence during an appearance at Kota Kinabalu Magistrates' Court in Malaysia.
She was among a group of Western backpackers arrested after photos emerged of them stripping naked on Mount Kinabalu.
Hawkins, an aeronautical engineering graduate, was arrested at Tawau airport on Tuesday as she was flying from the island of Borneo to the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Speaking after the case, her father Timothy Hawkins said: "We have not had contact with the lawyer yet, so we don't know the precise details of what happened."
He declined to comment on whether he saw television footage of his daughter, her face covered, being ushered into the court building by guards.
Hawkins could be jailed for up to three months for the offence.
