16-year-old Plymouth girl pleads guilty at Youth Court to violent disorder
Prosecutor Claire Tresidder explained to the court how the girl – who cannot be named due to reporting restrictions on people under the age of 18 – was seen by police throwing two items items including a vodka bottle.
The girl, who sat in the dock while her parents sat in the well of the courtroom at Plymouth Magistrates’ court, had no previous convictions.
Her advocate, Graham Kinchin said his client’s case was similar to that of another youth who appeared last week.
District Judge Stuart Smith said this was a “serious matter” and “many many people” are being sentenced across the country in relation to the disorders.
He said he would adjourn sentencing to allow for the Youth Justice Service to prepare reports.
He granted the girl conditional bail with an 8pm to 6am daily curfew until the sentencing hearing at the Youth Court on September 5.
