Corey Bills, 21, was charged after he kissed two boys, aged 11 and 14, on the heads during a football match at the Emirates Stadium. The children, one of whom has Asperger's Syndrome, felt uncomfortable and shocked by the unexpected physical contact. Bills, who was in the disabled section due to an injury, pleaded guilty to assault by beating and was given a 12-month conditional discharge with a three-year ban from attending Nottingham Forest games, reflecting concerns over his previous behavior at sports events.
Bills' actions, despite being without hostile intent, were deemed inappropriate and distressing for two vulnerable boys seated in the disabled section of the stadium.
The judge highlighted the importance of understanding the impact of such behavior, particularly in a vulnerable environment, and imposed a three-year ban on Bills from Nottingham Forest games.
