Fairmile Court News

Devon trolls sent relatively good court news after an extremely brutal eviction where press were kept out and various incidents took place including two women being sexually assaulted and one man stretched by his waist on a steel cable and left for over 30 minutes.

Of 18 arrests, 7 had charges brought to a caution, 1 had charges dropped, 9 were given a 6 month conditional discharge, and was given a 12 month conditional discharge and nobody had any court costs, eviction costs or fines imposed.
