Teenage boy abused 4-yr-old sister after watching porn

A teenage boy who sexually abused his little sister while babysitting had been watching online porn, a court has heard.

The 17-year-old repeatedly seriously abused the four-year-old child until the victim eventually told their mother what he had been doing.

She reported her son to the police and when interviewed the boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, admitted his behaviour had been 'disgusting and loathsome'.

Sentencing the youth, who is now 18, to three and a half years detention Judge Mark Brown described him as an intelligent young man who had known what he was doing was wrong.

He said that the youth had treated her in a 'most appalling and dreadful fashion' because he had been sexually aroused.

The defendant had pleaded guilty to attempted rape and five offences of sexual assault. He said that the boy, who had been bullied at school, largely because of his weight, was socially isolated.
Following the death of his father he had become even less outgoing and when he was 16 was convicted of indecent exposure. SOURCE
