Two teenage girls sentenced to 18 months of youth rehab for antisemitic rampage in London’s Stamford Hill
[IsraelTimes] Two teenage girls have been sentenced to 18 months of youth rehabilitation after carrying out a series of antisemitic attacks on Jewish women and girls in north London’s Stamford Hill last December.The teens, who could not be named because of their age, targeted the victims in four separate incidents over the course of half an hour in December 2023, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) says. One attack left a woman unconscious. The pair were convicted of attempted robbery, religiously aggravated harassment, and actual bodily harm, with one facing an additional charge of attempted theft. Both were also placed under curfew wearing electronic tags for six and three months, respectively, and were ordered to undertake a rehabilitation activity requirement for 30 and 45 hours. The sentence’s scope reflects that the attacks were largely motivated by hate, CPS says. “The evidence in this case proved that the two teenagers targeted most of the victims because they were Jewish,” says Senior Crown Prosecutor Jagjeet Saund. “Key witness testimony proved that the defendants were mocking them, using antisemitic language, making it plainly obvious that these attacks were hate crimes,” Saund says. “There is no place for such intolerance and hatred, and the Crown Prosecution Service will continue to work closely with the police to ensure those who spread hate, prejudice and hostility are prosecuted.” Stamford Hill is home to the largest Hasidic community in Europe.
