Reading Magistrates youth court yesterday heard that the teenage victim was held down and kicked repeatedly in the head by the group, before being called a black c . The court heard how the vicious attack had been arranged on social media, and shocking video footage was shown to the court. The court heard they did not know the date of offence, but the prosecutor said police received video footage in October 2020 but could not say when it was filmed.
A schoolboy who launched a hate crime assault with two friends on a black youth has been spared jail - and punished with household chores in a soft justice outrage.
His victim, 15, was held down and kicked to the head by the group, before being called a black c by one of the thugs.
The attack, which took place in a children s play area in Wokingham, Berks, only came to light after sick footage of the attack was sent to police in October.
Legal reasons mean the attackers cannot be named and were referred to as boy A, boy B and boy C by magistrates hearing the case in Reading Youth Court.
