A school brought in the police after one of its pupils was seen on a YouTube video being restrained by a teenager. Romeo Smalley has been jailed after sexually assaulting the boy having posted two videos of him online while he was tied up and 'bound'.
His barrister said it is a 'game that young people play', but Smalley, 18 at the time of the offences, admitted his motivations were sexual. A judge said it was clear that he was 'sexually aroused' in one of the clips.

The boy said Smalley 'never did anything funny'. "What you did was very serious," Smalley was told by Judge Tom
