Disturbing footage has captured a band of young thugs attacking a vulnerable teenager.
Aimee Purdey, who was 18 at the time, is seen curled up in a ball as the laughing women kick her in the head and body.
The teenager had been lured to the beating by her former partner Simone McDermott, who also wound up her new girlfriend Melissa Marriott so she would take part too.
She recruited neighbour Siobhan Wait to join in, while a fourth, Victoria Houghton filmed the violence on her phone. All the attackers were 18 at the time.
The unsettling clip shows Aimee curled up in the foetal position on the floor while her four attackers rain blows onto her head and body while they laugh at her and call her names.
After the four thugs avoided immediate jail sentences on Monday, Aimee handed the footage to the M.E.N. to show the full horror of what had happened to her.
