FOUR teenagers drugged and beat a 14-year-old girl and shaved off her hair and eyebrows because she was ‘irritating’ them while high on ecstasy.
The gang, made up of a 12-year-old boy and three teenage girls, slipped sleeping tablets into grapes she was eating. Then they held her down and hacked off her hair while she lay groggy and helpless in a St Helier bedsit last September.
The frightened girl, who had run away from a children’s care home, was then beaten over the head with an aerosol can, leaving her badly bleeding. Yesterday the four teenagers, aged between 12 and 15 at the time, were each put on probation for a year by the Royal Court. Two of the girls were also given community service for their part in the savage attack.
The assault happened on 30 September in the home of one of the girls while her mother was out with friends. Crown Advocate Conrad Yates (pictured) told the court that as the victim was hallucinating, having swallowed a quarter of an ecstasy tablet, some of the teenagers threw water and Fairy Liquid in her face because she was ‘irritating’ them.
