'Animalistic' vigilantes strip tourist naked and drag him to pub 'thinking he was paedo'
dailystar.co.ukREAD MORE: Twitter stunned by raunchy video of brazen pair 's****ing on paddleboard' at beach WalesOnline reports that the brazen thugs have refused to tell police who else was involved.
The court heard that the two defendants were arrested within days of the assault but it took police more than three years to charge them, a delay which the judge described as "so egregious it is quite startling".The victim, a Lithuanian national, had been living and working in London and the incident took place in July, 2018, when he visited west Wales in his campervan.Craig Jones, prosecuting, said on the night of July 18 he was parked up in the centre of Newquay near the Sea Horse Inn and was preparing for bed when a group of people who had seemingly "taken against his presence having convinced themselves without any foundation that he was a paedophile" approached the vehicle.The gang used mobile phone torches to locate and beat the man, strip him naked, as well as steal from him his iPad, phone and laptop along with cash and bank cards.Mr Jones said the victim was then forced to go to the Sea Horse pub to "degrade and humiliate" him further.The tourist was eventually taken to hospital where a CT scan revealed a subarachnoid haemorrhage - bleeding on the brain - in addition to the obvious cuts, bruises and severe swelling around the eyes.Defendant Jones also effectively made admissions about her involvement in the attack in a Facebook post in which she talked about "the boys" going to the van of a man they believed to be "paedo" and beating him up, something which made her "happy".Following inquiries in the town, police arrested Jones and her partner Davies.
