The Ham&High is out now.
This week’s front page tells how the family of a woman who was robbed and sexually assaulted stormed out of court as her attacker was sentenced.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, violently robbed two women before groping them in Parliament Hill.
He bit one victim in the groin and hit a man with a hammer.
The culprit was given a two year sentence in a youth detention centre, meaning he’s likely to be free in a year.
