Myles Harris was 18 when he assaulted the child at Gala Policies park in the Scottish Borders town of Galashiels last year, the High Court in Edinburgh was told.
Scotland has a devolved criminal justice system (as does Wales), independent of Westminster, and has its own sentencing guidelines in regard to young people and in regard to the Scottish Sexual Offence Act 2009 and which differs from England.
Sweet FA to do with English law, or English sentencing guidelines, and sweet FA to do with the riots in England and any subsequent prison sentences.
The foul creature sent to prison for incitement to stir up racist hatred not only boasted about it afterwards she also thought it was amusing, and also said she would "play the mental health card" to wriggle out of it, refusing to take any responsibility at all and including to her own probation officer.
Connolly also said she would serve out her notice period illegally "on the sly", and despite being deregistered.
In other words, she tried taking the piss, believing that she was a 'big shot' because her husband is a Tory councillor, well, she isn't laughing now, is she.
Btw, serving 40% of a 31-month sentence is not "years" in jail, and she got off lightly compared to some other rioters.
Context, the bigger picture, is important.
