A teenager who stabbed his mum’s abusive ex-partner after having to watch him ‘belittle, humiliate and beat’ her for years has been spared jail.
Harley Bowring, 19, admitted GBH after attacking Ben Vout at his mother’s home in Middlesborough on August 7 last year.
But the judge agreed to suspend his 18-month prison sentence after being told of the ‘significant relevant history’ behind the assault.
