A TEENAGE attacker who assaulted a girl under the age of 18 has been sentenced.
Paige Young entered a guilty plea to one count of assault by beating when she appeared at Hereford Magistrates’ Court on April 17.
The court heard from prosecutor Lauren Millichip that Young, of Princess Avenue, Hereford, had assaulted a girl by beating her on October 27 last year.
The victim cannot be named for legal reasons as she is under the age of 18, meaning her identity is protected and she must remain anonymous. A reporting restriction is in place to ensure this.

18-year-old Young, who was represented at her sentencing at Hereford Magistrates’ Court on May 21 by defence solicitor George Cousins, was handed a 12-month community order with up to 20 days of rehabilitation activities.
She must also pay £50 in compensation to the girl and a £50 fine.
A pre-sentencing report had been carried out by the probation service prior to her latest court appearance.
