A 13-year-old girl appeared before the youth court in Bath last Thursday, 23rd April, to plead guilty to a series of charges, including three assaults on police officers.
Bath Magistrates’ Court
The teenager, who we cannot name due to reporting restrictions, admitted that on 4th October last year in Bath she assaulted another girl by beating her and committed criminal damage by destroying the victim’s mobile phone worth £170.
On 27th December 2025 in Bath, she assaulted a police constable in the execution of his duty.
She assaulted another constable in Bath on 28th March and on the same date assaulted an officer at Keynsham Police Centre.
She also admitted an assault on a female in Bath on the same date.
Solicitor Micia Rigby, defending the 13-year-old, who is already subject to a referral order, asked magistrates to adjourn the case for a pre-sentence report to be prepared by the youth justice team.
The magistrates heard that the girl is also in breach of an anti-social behaviour (ASB) injunction and the police will be seeking a community behaviour order (CBO).
She was remanded on unconditional bail, although remains under the terms of the injunction imposed in March, and will be sentenced on 4th June.
