A NORTH-EAST prostitute who lured a man to her house then robbed him failed to get her two-year sentence cut at London's Court of Appeal yesterday.

Leanne Harrison, 21, tempted the man, whom she met in Middlesbrough town centre, to her house where an accomplice with a plank lay in wait.

Harrison, of Parliament Road, Middlesbrough, was jailed for two years at Teesside Crown Court in February after admitting robbery.

Lord Justice Mantell yesterday agreed that Harrison was "a vulnerable young woman who is easily led", but said she had a formidable record involving 27 court appearances.

The judge told the court how Harrison, a mother-of-one, had offered her victim sex at her house for £20.

When they arrived at her house, she told him to get undressed in the attic, which he was doing when a man wielding a floorboard appeared and robbed him of his wallet, cash and a mobile phone.

Police arrested Harrison soon afterwards. Her accomplice was not found.

Lord Justice Mantell, sitting with Mr Justice Gibbs and Judge Peter Openshaw, refused to cut her term in light of "numerous" previous convictions.
