Earlier this week Mitchell was sentenced to a year and two months in prison, suspended for two years.
She will also have to complete 150 hours of unpaid work and 20 days of rehabilitation activity requirement.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Natasha Davis, based at Maidenhead police station, said: “Thames Valley Police will listen to and support vulnerable victims, will robustly investigate violent crime and bring offenders to justice.
“This outcome would not have been possible without the willing participation of the witnesses over a significant period of time.
“I commend the victim’s bravery in supporting the investigation and I hope that the conviction of Mitchell will provide the victim some closure.”
