The 19-minute video shows William Kevin Clifford, at the time a teaching assistant at Tettenhall Wood School in Wolverhampton, pushing 11-year-old Tobie Orlowski to the ground in a play area, before delivering a sustained attack.

Tobie has autism and is unable to speak.

Clifford appears to punch and kick Tobie several times as he sits on the ground, sometimes dragging him to his feet before hurling him to the ground again. Other children can be seen playing in the background while the attack is going on.

The video was played during Clifford's sentencing at Wolverhampton Crown Court earlier this month, but the Express & Star can now release it for the first time.

The teaching assistant, who is known as Kevin Clifford, and lives in Fisher Street, Wolverhampton, walked free from court after a judge said he had already suffered for his actions.
