you can phone the court where he was sentenced, but they may give you another number to ring. it's public information so you don't have to give your name or explain..

Hi

You can look at certain cases here:

http://www.thelawpages.com/index.php

Requires a quick and simple registration. Once account is opened, go to: 'sentences' then 'super-search' and fill out as much as you know then a list of cases will be displayed. Double click on the case notes to see sentences and other info etc.

(The site details cases from Crown Court upwards, so if the case was a Sec 18 GBH then it will be listed on the site. If the case was a Sec 20 GBH it may have been heard in Mags court).
