Teen Knocks Out Woman’s Teeth After Drinking Spree in Town Centre
The boy, from Warrington, went to court and admitted to causing actual bodily harm. The law protects his identity because he is a minor. The court learned the teen punched the woman, causing her to fall to the ground. CCTV footage showed the whole event to the court.
The victim’s statement said her front teeth were badly damaged. She now gets severe headaches that come and go, and eating is difficult since she is missing teeth.
The victim said the attack was very vicious and she can’t even recall what happened. She can’t understand the boy’s force, noting that she was the smallest one there. After the attack, she lost her confidence and blames one boy’s lack of control, questioning how he entered bars and was still out at 6 AM.
His lawyer, Ian Weights, agreed with her unease, stating someone else should also be in court. He highlighted the fact that the boy had bar wristbands at 6 AM, and he visited three or four bars despite looking only fifteen years old.
The court learned the boy had quit school at ten. He is younger than his real age, according to Mr. Weights, and he missed a lot of education which means he has too much free time.
Mr. Weights said this showed what can go wrong, adding that the boy seemed scared by it. He stated that the boy was drunk and couldn’t communicate well, and that he is sorry for his actions. The boy told the court he felt ashamed and that it was silly.
The court gave him a 12-month order with nighttime curfew and required him to pay the victim £750. Magistrates said he affected her greatly, hurting her teeth and her confidence, and warned him to stop hurting people or face imprisonment.
After sentencing, the local paper contacted police to inquire about the boy in those bars. Inspector Lee Hillyard responded to the paper, stating that police check licenses with the council often and act when they find any problems. He affirmed their commitment to protect young people in Warrington and keep the town safe for all.
