The British Newspaper Archive is available on-line here:-

http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/

It is possible to free-search it but full details are available only on subscription. The major local papers such as the Gloucester Citizen, Gloucester Journal and those from Cheltenham are included but some of the smaller, even more local, publications are not. It is usually worth searching Herefordshire and Worcestershire papers too since they often recorded events in the Forest.

The rest of this particular article is concerned with what precipitated the alleged assault and the sentence. I can download it if of interest.
