A 45-year-old man launched a vile campaign against the family of an innocent teenage boy he believed was part of a gang who attacked him. Company director Eric Oldfield sent a barrage of threats to the 14-year-old's mother over a period of five months, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
It came after Sale man Oldfield, who had previously been beaten up by a gang of youths at a Metrolink stop, was told the boy had been one of those responsible for assaulting him. The court heard how police had failed to catch the culprits of the attack, but the 45-year-old turned his scorn at the boy's mother.
He sent a series of letters to her, calling her a ‘worthless c*** s****** council estate skank’ and demanding her son is kept away from 'the wrong crowds'.
