Teen ‘enjoyed’ outlining the harm he caused to victims of serious assaults

A 16-year-old was so lacking in empathy for the victims of serious assaults, by him, had found the offences “funny” when he recounted to his probation officer the litany of injuries he had caused.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said the victims were people who had come to his assistance as Good Samaritans.

One woman who came to his aid at the side of the road was punched so severely to the face she was left with Bell’s Palsy paralysis to her mouth.
