Harley Shaun Bartolo was at a Doonside home on August 4, 2021 when the 16-year-old boy was lured in and viciously bashed by a large group, some children, who suspected him of stealing some Apple Airpods.
"The attack can only be described as a sustained frenzy of savagery and cruelty of the highest order."Bartolo was sentenced to a maximum sentence of 25 months. When police arrived at the scene after the alleged perpetrators had fled, he falsely claimed that two "Sudanese males" had conducted the attack.Jason Galleghan was found with head and chest injuries.The Werrington man later backtracked on these statements, coming clean with police, and then pleading guilty to one charge of being an accessory after the fact to causing grievous bodily harm after the matter hit the courts.
In handing down his sentence, the judge took into account Bartolo's "borderline" intellectual disabilities, which left him open to be manipulated and exploited by others.
