A 16-year-old boy who raped a girl he met at a house party "used considerable force in pursuit of his own sexual gratification," a judge has said.
In an ACT Supreme Court decision published on Tuesday, October 6, the rapist was handed an 18-month prison sentence, suspended upon him entering into a good behaviour order. This means his sentence will be served in the community, rather than behind bars.
The teenager, who cannot be named due to his age, previously pleaded guilty to a rolled-up count of sexual intercourse without consent.
