Bangor Pier attack sentences for Cora Campbell and William Boyd

Three people have been sentenced at Newtownards Crown Court today for their roles in the assault of a girl at Bangor Pier.

The victim was assaulted at the Co Down venue on April 20, 2018 and footage of the attack went viral on social media.

Now, Cora Campbell and William Boyd have been sentenced to 16 months in custody and the same on licence. They were also given a restraining order for three years against the victim.

A teenage girl was given a youth conference order including 120 hours of unpaid community service.

She has been told to send "a letter of reflection" to the victim.

Detective Constable Hughes said: “Cora Campbell and William Boyd were sentenced to a total of 32 months, 16 months in custody and 16 months on licence for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

“They were also given a restraining order for three years in relation to the victim.

“A teenage girl who was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm was given a youth conference order including 120 hours of unpaid community service and ordered to send a letter of reflection to the victim and she is to be supervised by the YJA for a period of 12 months.

“This was clearly a traumatic ordeal for the victim and I hope it gives them some measure of comfort that the perpetrator has been found guilty.”
