Porn-obsessed boy, 12, raped sister age four

A SCHOOLBOY raped his four-year- old sister and then bribed her to keep quiet with a bag of Skittles.

The 12- year- old had a large amount of pornography on his mobile phone, a court heard.

He repeatedly raped her while they played hide and seek.

The girl, who is now five, told her mother of her ordeal while she was in the bath.

The boy, who is now 13, admitted raping and sexually touching his sister. He was found guilty of a second count of rape after a trial at Brighton Youth Court.

The court was told the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had a mobile phone and investigators had found a significant amount of pornography on it.

Youth offending experts will now carry out assessments to decide whether he poses a risk to the public and whether he should face jail.

At an earlier hearing, the mother of the girl, who is half- sister to the boy, wiped away tears as she described how her daughter had told her what had happened to her.

‘She said to me, “Mummy I want to tell you something.” She didn’t normally say things with such an introductory manner,’ the girl’s mother said.

‘She wanted to tell me. It was something important to her. She said it happened while they were playing hide and seek.’

The mother said the girl had divulged more about a week later – giving details of at least two occasions when she was raped and another time she was sexually assaulted. Her mother said: ‘She said he offered her sweeties to do this. She said she didn’t like it but she liked the sweeties. I said to her that lik- ing sweeties was perfectly all right but he should never have offered her sweets to do something like that. She said, “He made me like Skittles.” She was clearly cross about that. I said to her, “Why didn’t you tell Mummy?” and she said, “He told me not to.”’

At the hearing on Wednesday, District Judge Teresa Szagun warned the boy that he faces the possibility of a severe custodial sentence. The case was adjourned until September 6.

The judge said: ‘I’m sure what she described is accurately what happened to her. The way she spoke was very factual and articulate.

‘She was able to tell me about those experiences very well. What she describes was you making her take off her skirt and pants, telling her not to tell, it was a secret, giving her sweets.’

The court was told boy has already been subjected to psychological assessments to see whether he can tell the difference between right and wrong.
