London Teens Change Plea To Guilty For Attacking, Harassing Lesbian Couple
Three teenaged boys pleaded guilty for harassing and assaulting a lesbian couple on a London bus.
The boys, aged 15, 16, and 17, were caught on camera footage on May 30 harassing 28-year old Melania Geymonat and her 29-year-old American girlfriend, Christine Hannigan.
According to a report by The Sun, the boys asked the women lewd questions, making comments about the couple’s sexuality, performing lewd gestures, and tried to get the couple to kiss in front of them but when Geymonat and Hannigan did not grant them their request, the boys threatened the victims and eventually assaulted and robbed them.
The New York Post reported that the boys also threw coins at Geymonat and Hannigan.
In a youth court appearance back in August, the suspects, whose names were withheld due to them being minors, pleaded not guilty to the various charges pressed against them.
On Nov. 28, two of the boys once again stood trial and this time, pleaded guilty to the offenses of an aggravated hate crime, Fox News reported.
The 17-year-old suspect, meanwhile had his charges dropped due to insufficient evidence.
