A 14-year-old girl will be released after seven months in custody for the torture of another teenage girl on the Sunshine Coast last year.
The 14-year-old was sentenced today over a string of offences, including an assault in March.
She was one of three girls charged over an incident in which a 13-year-old girl was lured to a home and tortured for four hours.
Their victim was beaten and sliced with a knife, and the ordeal was captured and shared online to millions of views.
The 14-year-old pleaded guilty to more than 40 offences.
A judge described the assault as “a traumatic and terrifying series of events for the victim”, who was left with serious injuries.
Her attacker was on bail at the time of the offence, sparking community outrage.
Vigilantes sought revenge, setting the 14-year-old’s family home alight.
The girl will be released after seven months behind bars after the judge handed her a suspended sentence.
She will undertake a conditional release program with strict reporting requirements for the next three years.
