Inside the dark past of half-naked sex worker Cindy Pham who was arrested wearing only leather lingerie after running down an e-bike rider in the middle of the night in Sydney’s Moore Park
The half-naked sex worker accused of drunkenly hitting an e-bike rider late at night had previously been banned from the roads for drink-driving, it can be revealed.
Cindy Pham, 27, from Westminster in Perth’s north, was arrested while dressed in leather lingerie after colliding with the cyclist in inner-city Sydney in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Witnesses said the 29-year-old male victim had tire marks on his chest and pelvis after the crash on South Dowling Street in Moore Park.
Paramedics worked along the road for an hour to save the man’s life before he was taken to nearby St Vincent’s Hospital in a serious condition, where he remains seriously ill.
Police found Pham behind the wheel of her 2015 Western Australian registered black Subaru Liberty, wearing only a leather bra, leather bondage shorts and glasses.
She reportedly told them she was a sex worker on her way to an appointment when the accident happened at 3:45 am.
A breath test showed her to be almost twice the legal limit with a reading of 0.095, and she was charged with mid-range drink driving.
Now Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Pham has a string of previous convictions in her home state, including a previous seven-month drink driving ban in 2022.

Pham gave a blood alcohol level of 0.08 when she was charged by police in 2021, and on top of the ban she was fined $850, plus costs of $259.30, at the Joondalup Magistrates Court, Western Australia, in March 2022 .
A month earlier, she had been given a one-year suspended prison sentence at the Perth Magistrates Court for assault occasioning actual bodily harm following another incident in 2021.
The details of the serious attack were unclear.
Her sentence was upgraded to a hefty fine with costs when she broke her good behavior bond and was taken to court on further charges.
The Perth Magistrates Court was told in March 2023 that she had failed to provide police with her details when requested and had been convicted of disorderly behaviour.
She was charged a total of $2,500 for the two 2023 violations and the 2022 violation, along with $150 costs.
Pham – who has a distinctive garter belt-style tattoo around her thigh – is believed to work as an escort and conducts outcalls to clients’ homes, independently of local agencies.
She was said to have been on a working holiday in Sydney when the accident occurred.
Her latest drink driving case will be heard at Sydney Downing Center Local Court on March 14. She has not been charged in connection with the e-bike collision.
