Sentencing delayed for ex-pageant queen
(CNS): Tiffany Conolly (25), who won the Miss Cayman Islands Universe pageant crown in August 2022 but lost it earlier this year when she was convicted of assault and other charges, will have to wait another seven weeks to learn her fate. Conolly appeared in court for sentencing on Thursday, but the case was adjourned for at least the second time as the court waits on information from probation officers.
Conolly was bailed to return on 7 June, when she will be sentenced for six criminal counts of assault, damage to property and disorderly conduct following an explosive incident at her former lover’s home in West Bay in October 2021.
While Conolly was eventually stripped of her title after the conviction, she continued to receive a stipend as the pageant title winner until she was found guilty and was allowed to keep the CI$70,000 annual scholarship that came with the title.
Meanwhile, Chloe Powery-Doxey, who represented the Cayman Islands in New Orleans for the 2022 Miss Universe contest as Cayman’s 1st Runner-up, will be officially crowned as Conolly’s replacement next week.

CIG is stealing millions from the people every year and unna worried about a citizen getting 70k. This is a win for the people.
Why dont you go after KBs $10+K monthly salary.
1. She didn’t receive 70k cash
2. Pageants are stupid
3. The new winner is ‘winning’ what exactly?
4. Can we all agree to never report on this kind of foolishness ever again, please????
I don’t know about you kind people , but it seems a fair representation of the best cayman has to offer these days.
The whole affair gives a stark spectacle for the world to see of, incompetence, sheer disregard for justice and the rule of law on our tiny little island and the very much on its way decrepitude of our standards, even in something as subjective as beauty.
“Maitre chez nous!” indeed!
Is the 70k out of public funds?
Sure and why not as we have a huge surplus of funds just laying their ready to be spent!
And these government gang are ready and hot to blow it all. Easy come – easy go!
Allowing her to keep the money (or anything at all that she was given as the winner) sets a terrible example. Absolutely appalling decision, and whoever made it should be ashamed of themselves.
If I were Chloe I would politely decline the crown without the gifts attached to it.
Just add this crap to the two clowns who just got sentenced to jail for robbing the football association and our other ace who is awaiting trial (again). Makes you want to vomit!
and she keeps the $70,000.00. What a load of CIG Sh#t!
Well Kenny et al wouldn’t want to lose voters by upholding standards , would they.?
Allowed to keep the 70k! And they say crime doesn’t pay! The victims should at least sue for 100k.
