Three men, Gary Purnell, 45, Alexander Peat, 34, and Martin Hockridge, 58, were handed 12-month community orders, with a requirement to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work. District Judge Louisa Cieciora issued an arrest warrant for Christopher Aitken, 62, who did not attend the hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
But Ms Cieciora said the allegations could not be "laid at the door of any of the defendants", who were still in court at the time.
