Autistic's Torturers Walk Free
I have set up this site http://justice4autistics.blogspot.com/ to document the coverage of this appalling case:
Jack Bolton, Andrew Griffin, and Nathan Marshall subjected a vulnerable autistic teenager to an horrific three-day ordeal and used a mobile phone to film some of the assaults.
Pelted with dog mess
The 17 year old victim who has Asperger’s Syndrome – was also pelted with dog mess and forced to drink alcohol until he passed out.
Forced him to perform a sex act
Mobile phone footage showed the three 18 year old perpetrators, laughing and joking as they forced him to perform a sex act with his own dog. And, in a final humiliating assault, they indecently assaulted him.
They indecently assaulted him
The judge, Jonathan Geake said the attacks were "grotesque" before sentencing the men to just 80 hours community service (unpaid work) to be performed over as long as a year and a 3 month curfew.
Griffin, Marshall and Bolton
There is a link on the website to the NAS and Mencap's campaign to have the Attorney General refer the case to the Court of Appeal in the hope that these animals get what they deserve.
You can make a real difference by writing to the Attorney General - particularly if you are a UK resident or national - nevertheless overseas correspondents are equally valuable to show the widespread disgust at this case.
