The man who orchestrated an assault on a grade 9 student in 2009, out of revenge for his younger son, was ordered to pay over $497,000 in damages, the B.C. Supreme Court ruled last week.
Micheal Daniel Tilton was convicted of two counts of assault by the Provincial Court in 2011 for causing bodily harm to the victim, Riley Robert Siegerist, and head-butting a by-stander who wanted to stop the beating. Siegerist was 14 years old at the time. The judgement was never reported.
