Britain’s youngest same-sex rapist, 11, locked up for string of ‘porn-inspired’ sex attacks on three boys
Lad, who cannot be named, admitted 15 offences on a nine-year-old plus attacks on boys of seven and 11.
A BOY of 11 was locked up yesterday for a string of rapes inspired by violent gay-porn websites.
The lad, Britain’s youngest same-sex rapist, admitted 15 offences on a nine-year-old plus attacks on boys of seven and 11.
He had searched online for “gay rape”, “gay porn” and “gay rape porn”.
The Blackpool schoolboy was caught when the first victim’s mum overheard whispering on a baby monitor and walked in on a bedroom rape.
The attacker, who cannot be named, was given four years’ detention by Preston crown court.
Judge Mark Brown, who voiced concern over the effect of “male rape” sites on the boy, said an adult would have been jailed for much longer.
Brown went on: “I am concerned in this case that you may have been affected by material that was available to you on the internet, namely sites that depicted gay rape.
“But nonetheless I am satisfied that this was not a situation in which you were experimenting sexually but rather you were obtaining sexual gratification or pleasure by what you were doing.
“I can only hope that during this sentencing you will be able to do some kind of education and courses that will help you.”
Speaking of the rape offences he said: “That was a terrible and dreadful thing you did to him and I hope you appreciate it should never have happened.
“It must have been awful for [the victim] and we simply cannot know what impact it is going to have had upon him, particularly in the long term.
“Once the police got involved and all of this came out in the open, you were then on bail and when you were on bail you committed a sexual assault on [the third victim] and he was a bit older. He says that on a couple of occasions you were touching his privates over his clothing.”
