A 15-year-old boy, who was the first in the country to be charged with ‘riot’ following recent national disorder, is set to face trial in December.
The youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is facing the charge after widespread trouble broke out in Sunderland on August 2.
The teenager, from Sunderland, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Friday, October 4, where Judge Tim Gittins pencilled in December 2 for the trial, expected to last two days.
The teenager, who attended court with his mum, did not enter a plea to the riot charge.
He was remanded into local authority accommodation until the next hearing on November 8.
