Instead, Darren Weir was fined £5,500 for hitting the 15-year-old girl after she slapped him around the face.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, received £3,500 of that amount as compensation.

Guilty

Weir and the girl met outside a nightclub in Cardiff where So Solid Crew were supposed to be playing a gig.

Weir, 22, from Pimlico, London, who goes by the name of Skat D, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm on December 27 last year.

So Solid Crew recently had a number one hit single with 21 Seconds.
