The young man who put his hand down the pants of two teenagers at a Young Labour summer camp has been discharged without conviction.

The 21-year-old stood trial in September after pleading not guilty to five charges of indecent assault in relation to four teenagers - two young men and two young women.

But in a surprise move, he pleaded guilty three days into the trial to two amended charges of common assault.

Katie Scotcher was at his sentencing.
