It's A Balancing Act You Failed, Dismally...

Judge Anthony Lowe said the ‘very, very difficult case’ required him to strike a balance between ‘what a 13-year-old boy needs and what society needs when women are accosted in the street for no good reason’.

And you came down on the side of...the 13 year old sex pest? Really, judge? 

He said the rehabilitation order would carry a supervision requirement, and would allow the boy to receive treatment in a care setting in the hope of addressing his behaviour ‘by the time he is approaching adulthood’.
The judge told the boy, who stood in the dock to be sentenced: ‘You are old enough to understand that behaviour has consequences and what you did was very bad.
He told the boy he would have received a sentence of ‘eight or nine years’ if he was an adult for such offending, adding: ‘You have to look inside your own head and try to work out what on earth made you behave in that way.’
The court heard the boy had no previous offences to his name.

Translation: hadn't been caught for anything. 

The judge said he had ‘absolutely no idea what the driving force is behind these offences’.
He said was clear the boy had a ‘distorted view about sexual intimacy and sexual relationships and a distorted view about women generally’, but added: ‘There is no explanation for why he has these distorted views or, more importantly, how they are going to be rehabilitated.’

Maybe we should look closer to home - he is, after all, the son of a police officer... 

Interestingly, the 'Guardian' article on this doesn't mention this once.

Nor does the Guardian mention that last month he had been found guilty of 9 sexual offences the previous month. I wonder what it would have taken to have this scrote banged up and named. I imagine if, at the same time as the rapes etc, he had committed a "transphobic" hate crime, his feet wouldn't have touched the ground on the way to prison (or whatever is now used to house a feral youth).

More selective journalism from the left wing MSM, though the so called centrist or right leaning media isn't far behind.The

Sadly, probably true.😕

"... though the so called centrist or right leaning media isn't far behind."

I'm finding it pretty hard to tell the difference these days...
