MAFS’ Stacey Hampton appears in court after being charged with ignoring coronavirus restrictions

Married At First Sight star Stacey Hampton appeared in Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday after being charged with ignoring coronavirus restrictions.

According to News.com.au, Hampton’s case was called about 30 minutes early and Magistrate Michelle Sutcliffe adjourned the matter to a date in December.

The 27-year-old was seen leaving Adelaide Magistrates Court in a black jacket, heels and sunglasses.

Hampton was arrested at Adelaide Airport on May 6 as she travelled back home from Melbourne – after Instagram photos showed she was wasn’t self-isolating.

The reality TV star was locked up for several hours and charged with two counts of failing to comply with a direction.

Police are believed to have told her to go straight home and self-isolate – before they followed her after she left the police station.

They allegedly watched her pick up her two sons Kruz, two, and Kosta, four, who were separately staying at her mother and friend’s homes.

Officers then arrived at her house to give her a summons to appear on a third failure to comply with a direction charge.

‘Currently waiting for the cops to come to my house and abuse me. Probably give me another fine,’ she wrote in a text to a friend at the time.

She is facing fines of up to $20,000 and two years jail for each count.

At the time of her arrest, essential travellers were allowed to enter SA and continue as normal. Non-essential travellers needed to self-isolate for 14 days.

Hampton rose to fame on Channel Nine’s Married At First Sight. She was paired with Michael Goonan but the couple called it quits after five months.
