Mr Bates asks for the case to be adjourned, pending further psychiatric reports.

This request is accepted, with Mr Huggins not entering any pleas today.

The case will now be heard at the same court on 2 October.

The next hearing related to Manvers has started, with 20-year-old Rory Huggins currently in the dock.

Mr Huggins, who is from Rotherham, is being represented by barrister Mark Bates.

Many news organisations have described the incident in Rotherham as a riot. But almost everyone going through the courts has been charged with violent disorder, which is an offence under the Public Order Act.

So, why has this particular charge been brought rather than a charge of rioting?

As a criminal offence, rioting carries a longer maximum punishment compared to the hundreds of violent disorder charges which have been issued.

It can be a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, which is double the maximum a violent disorder offence carries.

The main difference between the charges is that riot must be "for a common purpose" and must involve at least 12 people, with violent disorder involving three or more people.

The Crown Prosecution Service previously said it would review other cases - and should there be evidence to support a charge of riot then it would be sought.

Next is the case of Rory Huggins, who is accused of violent disorder during the Manvers rioting.

Mr Huggins, who is 20 and from Swinton in Rotherham, is expected to enter pleas today.

Proceedings have been slightly delayed due to an unrelated hearing scheduled before his.

There's no reaction from Arnold as Judge Wright passes the sentence, but sobs are heard from family members sat in the public gallery.

As the hearing concludes and the 19-year-old defendant leaves the dock, there are shouts of "see you soon, love" and "stay strong, mate".

Judge Wright tells Arnold she has taken his age and previous good character into account.

But she highlights he had been "well to the fore" of what was a "terrifying" incident.

"To see the footage in court was bad enough, but to be present must have been truly frightening," she says.

"You’ve been described as a perfectly normal man - you have a supportive family and they are no doubt mystified why you behaved that way that day."

Tomas Arnold has been sentenced to two years and two months in a young offender institution for his role in the Manvers rioting.

Mr Cane-Soothill, defending, says his client has no explanation or excuse for what he did.

"It’s out of character for him, he has no previous convictions, he regrets his actions," the court hears.

"Most of his family are sat in public gallery - he can't believe he’s done this and they can’t believe it either."

The court hears Arnold spent his 19th birthday in police custody.

During his police interview, he replied "no comment" when asked if he had any remorse about his actions.

Ms Lister says Arnold denied any political or racial motivation in relation to his involvement when asked by officers.

Ms Lister, prosecuting, says Arnold was subsequently arrested and interviewed after the disorder.

"He told officers he was in the area with friends by chance and had been on his way home," she says.

"He said he had tried to leave but the exit was blocked, so they got out of the vehicle and became involved."

The hearing has just started, with the court hearing the background of the case.

Barrister Jessica Lister says Arnold was "at the front line" of the disorder outside the Holiday Inn Express.

"An officer was pushed to the ground by another and this defendant took the opportunity to kick another police officer," she says.

The sentencing has heard Arnold previously pleaded guilty to one count of violent disorder and one count of assault by beating of an emergency worker.

The cases today will be heard before Judge Sarah Wright in courtroom six.

Tomas Arnold's family has started to arrive to watch proceedings from the public gallery.
