Ed beat an assault case brought by a woman who says he cold cocked her and left her face permanently scarred. Lover, 43, was sentenced in Manhattan to seven days' community service for the December 2005 confrontation at Duvet on West 21st Street. In pleading guilty to a violation, Lover, a morning DJ on Power 105.1, did not admit punching the woman as originally charged, and will not have a criminal record. The plea left victim Letitia Belford, 28, from Middlesex County, dumbfounded and furious at prosecutors. Belford said she had eyewitnesses ready to testify that Lover - real name James Roberts - cold-cocked her out of nowhere as she argued at the club with Lover's gal pal. But prosecutors knew Lover had his own friends ready to testify that Lover punched her in self-defense after she threatened him with a glass - which she adamantly denies.
