Teenager involved in group attack near Fountain Square faces trial with judge and victim

Theo

A teenager who was part of a group that attacked a man from behind near Fountain Square was in court Friday to face his verdict and the victim. Jadin Shaw, 18, was one of the teens caught on video in the attack. “I just want to say I’m sorry for what I caused,” Shaw said. The victim, Aldo Atilanto, was in court for the hearing. He said he suffered multiple injuries, including some to his face. He spoke to the court through an interpreter. “They kicked me many times and then he fell and he said my teeth, my bottom teeth were loose,” the interpreter said while listening to Atilanto. Shaw looked at Atilanto and read a prepared apology statement. “I’m truly sorry for the pain and suffering I caused you,” Shaw said. Judge Alan Triggs was unconvinced of Shaw’s sincerity. While out on bail, Shaw attempted to turn off his electronic monitoring unit. “I’m giving you the maximum time I can give you,” Triggs said. Rather than face charges of robbery, Shaw pleaded guilty earlier this year to the lesser charge of aggravated riot, making the maximum possible prison sentence 18 months. Triggs said he considered placing Shaw in a facility where he could participate in a work release program, but his behavior while on bail precluded that. Shaw has 30 days to appeal the ruling.

CINCINNATI —

A teenager who was part of a group that attacked a man from behind near Fountain Square appeared in court on Friday to face his sentence and the victim.

Jadin Shaw, 18, was one of the teenagers caught on video during the attack.

“I just want to say I’m sorry for what I caused,” Shaw said.

The victim, Aldo Atilanto, was present in the courtroom for the hearing. He said he suffered several injuries, including some to his face. He spoke to the court through an interpreter.

“They kicked me many times and then he fell down and he said my teeth, my lower teeth, were loose,” the interpreter said as she listened to Atilanto.

Shaw turned to Atilanto and read a prepared apology.

“I am truly sorry for the pain and suffering I have caused you,” Shaw said.

Judge Alan Triggs was not convinced of Shaw’s sincerity.

While out on bail, Shaw attempted to turn off his electronic monitoring unit.

“I’ll give you as much time as possible,” Triggs said.

Rather than face a robbery charge, Shaw pleaded guilty earlier this year to the lesser offense of rioting, which carries a maximum possible prison sentence of 18 months.

Triggs said he considered placing Shaw in a facility where he could participate in a work release program, but his behavior while on bail precluded that.

Shaw has 30 days to appeal the verdict.
