He told his victim: “I am going to choke you out if you are gay”
A man who left a 16-year-old boy 'struggling to breathe' after strangling him in a unprovoked homophobic attack told him “I am going to choke you out if you are gay”.
The teenagers tried to run away but they were pursued by the defendant, which caused the 16-year-old to drop his bike as he was trying to escape. “It left me feeling scared to go out and I did not go out for quite some time.” The victim said he suffers anxiety and panic attacks, and that waiting for a trial before Bevan eventually pleaded guilty on the day, added more stress to the ordeal.
Helen Chenery, defending, told the court that these offences were carried out by Bevan when he was much younger and that, since being released from prison, he had remained out of trouble for a decade.
