Hate Crimes: June 2005 Archives

(Cleburne, Texas) A 19 year old who participated in an attack on a gay high school student - beaten so badly he needed reconstructive face surgery - has been sentenced to probation.

Billy Calahan, 19, was the last of three teens to be sentenced for the attack last fall. He pleaded guilty to assault with bodily injury because of bias or prejudice.

The charge usually carries a maximum of one year in jail. (source)
