Former Qantas mile-high stewardess in court

The former Qantas flight attendant who had mid-flight sex with British actor Ralph Fiennes in a toilet has appeared in a Melbourne court on assault charges.

Lisa Robertson, 41, was charged earlier this year with offences that include intentionally causing injury after an alleged incident outside a St Kilda restaurant.

Robertson was sacked by Qantas after her mile-high club romp with Fiennes was revealed earlier last year.

The former NSW police officer and sex worker later sold her story to various international media outlets including Australia's 60 Minutes program.

The case, listed today as a contest mention hearing, was adjourned in Melbourne Magistrates Court until next month.

Robertson, of St Kilda, had her bail extended on conditions that included reporting to police and not contacting prosecution witnesses.

She walked from court into a waiting white van before being driven away.

Her solicitor, Sue Macgregor, told The Age outside court her client was "devastated" that the case was continuing.

"She just wants it to go away," Ms Macgregor said.
