A 15-year-old immigrant who raped a five-year-old boy in a bathroom and said he would ‘break him into pieces’ has been handed a rehabilitation order.
The teenager, who cannot be named, told the victim to perform a sex act on him just months after arriving in the UK from Europe to be with his father. He threatened the five-year-old not to tell anyone and then started crying in a bedroom immediately after committing the rape.
The victim told his mum what had happened the day after the attack in Derby on October 30 last year and the 15-year-old was arrested.
The teenager admitted rape but was spared jail when he was handed a three-year youth rehabilitation order at Derbyshire Youth Court.
Speaking through an interpreter in a police interview, the rapist admitted carrying out the sex attack and told officers: ‘I have been bad’.
The teenager was handed a six-month curfew confining him to his home address between 7pm and 6am each day for the first two months. He was also given a five-year sexual harm prevention order forbidding him to have unsupervised contact with anyone aged under 13 without their parent or guardian’s consent.
The youth was further handed a restraining order forbidding him from contacting his victim for five years. His father was also given a 12-month parenting order to assist him as he brings the boy up.
