Workplace "crucifixion" was "banter" court hears

Four men are on trial in York over an alleged sustained campaign of bullying against a teenage Christian co-worker.

The men, including the alleged victim’s manager, are alleged to have bullied the boy between July 2014 and April 2015 -  using the teenager’s faith as a lynchpin for their mocking, The Yorkshire Post reports.

They allegedly tied him to a chair and paraded him through the street, gave him a wedgie and daubed crosses all over his body.

The alleged victim also claims he was taped to a board in a “crucifixion”.
