Anger therapy for principal in assault case

The judge in the case of school principal accused of assaulting a pupil with Asperger’s syndrome in June 2014 yesterday found the facts of the case proved against him.

“I have no difficulty accepting that the accused did not intend injury but he was reckless as to whether an injury might occur,” the judge said.

“I cannot imagine how the accused’s behaviour could be considered acceptable. I cannot contemplate how the force used was reasonable.
