A JEALOUS bloke who smashed up his ex’s vibrator in a jealous rage has been ordered to pay her £30 compensation for destroying it.

Rich Moore, 33, charged round to the house he had shared with Sarah Mills, 34, a month after they split to collect his stuff while she was away.

But Rich, 33, — who admits he “had the hump” with the device — tore it to pieces after destroying Sarah’s £200 sunglasses.

Following the incident in July he told The Sun: “I was fed up.

“She moved another fella in pretty much straight away after I paid for her to go on holiday to Lanzarote.

“I’ve gone to get my stuff and I came across the glasses and smashed them. Then I found the dildo and I just ripped it up. It was one of those bullet ones.

“She loved the dildo more than me, that’s why I got the hump with it. I bought it, it cost me £30.”

Sarah complained to cops and Rich was charged with criminal damage, which he admitted at Croydon magistrates’ court.

But he contested the value of the sunglasses, which he says cost £20.

Jibram Mirza, defending, said: "The day before he was assaulted by the complainant and went to hospital and went to stay with his mum.

"He attended the address to pick up his belongings and damaged the items in the heat of the moment."

Mr Miraz told the court Miss Mills had never paid rent on the property they shared but the house is in Moore's name and he is now facing a £6000 bill for unpaid rent.

Deputy District Judge Adrian Turner today ordered him to pay £50 compensation for the vibrator and glasses and conditionally discharged him for a year.

The couple, who were together seven years, have a two-year-old daughter and lived in Canada before moving back to London in 2014.

Builder Rich, of Orpington, South East London, speaking at the time, added: “It’s all so petty and a waste of taxpayers’ money. It’s ridiculous if you think about it.

“I told the police I had broken the dildo and offered to pay for it to save us all going to court but they weren’t having it.

“I wanted to go to court with a T-shirt saying Save The Dildos but I decided it was probably best not to.”
