Friday 26th March 2010, The two were found guilty.
The judge said: "It's
clear to me that you (Boleyn) and your fellow defendant
were incapable of looking after yourselves let alone a
child... There were bruises to his skull, which had been
inflicted by up to ten individual blows. There were
marks on his legs and grazes to his face. He had been
grabbed forcibly around the jaw and slapped and
punched... These were not in isolation. There were
further assaults to his lower back and buttocks on which
there was extensive bruising... It really was a case
where the jury saw injuries from top to toe. He (Ryan)
would have suffered emotionally and physically and he
would have needed comfort but you mocked him... You were
unable to keep your own lives under control without
smoking cannabis and alcohol and you took your petty
grievances out on this boy because you regarded him as
hyper-active and out of control."
