Following the hearing at Newtownards Crown Court on Tuesday, Detective Constable Hughes said: “Cora Campbell and William Boyd were sentenced to a total of 32 months, 16 months in custody and 16 months on licence, for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. They were also given a restraining order for three years.

“A teenage girl who was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm was given a youth conference order including 120 hours of unpaid community service and ordered to send a letter of reflection to the victim.

“This was clearly a traumatic ordeal for the victim and I hope it gives them some measure of comfort that the perpetrator has been found guilty.”
