Juvenile placed on the Sex Offenders Register

Fri, 17 Jul 2015

A teenager from the Isle of Man has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register after being sentenced for a string of sex offences.

The 16-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons appeared at Douglas Courthouse for sentencing earlier this week.

He'd previously pleaded guilty to 13 offences which dated between December 2013 and August 2014.

These included two counts of gross indecency with a child, three charges of indecent assault and six of making indecent images of children.

He also admitted two charges of unlawful sexual intercourse - one with someone under the age of 13 and one with someone under the age of 16.

The juvenile was sentenced to a two year probation order, as a direct alternative to 10 months in custody, and has been placed on the register for two years.
