Emmerdale Actor
Sentenced
Former Emmerdale star Luke Tittensor, who played Daz Eden,
has been given a 9-month suspended sentence for assault.
The 19-year-old appeared in court last month and admitted inflicting
grievous bodily harm on a 16-year-old.
The star, who was sacked from the show, must complete 200 hours unpaid work
and pay £1,000 compensation to the victim.
Judge Lindsey Kushner QC said: "You look like a responsible young man. You
behaved like so many of the louts that we see before us in these courts."
Tittensor has also been ordered to pay £1,100 costs.
Bolton Crown Court heard how the victim was left "badly injured" following
the attack in February last year.
Judge Lindsey Kushner QC said: "You are 19 years of age but ostensibly more
mature than most 19 year olds because you have been living in the public eye
since you were a child.
I have to demonstrate to the public that whether you are famous or whether
you are unknown, the court has to take a dim view of this behaviour
Judge Lindsey Kushner
"This poor boy has suffered a full assault, serious injury, surgery, and he
is generous enough to say all he wants you to do is accept your
responsibility, which in fact you have.
"But my responsibility is different. I have to demonstrate to the public
that whether you are famous or whether you are unknown, the court has to
take a dim view of this behaviour."
