The boy had been with a group of other children "causing a disturbance" outside the man's home before the assault.
Dimitri A Nikias, 57, who also goes by the name James Nikias, was sentenced in the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday. He works at Nikias Diamond, where another man also named Dimitri Nikias is a director.
