More hearings in Liverpool as teenager pleads guilty to affray

Back at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court, more people have appeared in the dock over their actions during the riots.

George Clements, 18, of New Brighton, Merseyside, has pleaded guilty to a charge of affray.

The court heard how, on August 3, Clements was in a small group of people wearing face masks “fronting up to members of the public” who were clearly distressed.

In footage of the event, Clements, who the court hears has a suspended sentence for dangerous driving, is seen kicking out and throwing objects at members of the public.

His case has been sent to Liverpool Crown Court, and he will appear for sentencing on 15 August. He has been granted bail in the meantime.
