A 10-year-old boy raped a young girl after becoming addicted to internet pornography.
The youngster got hooked on extreme web images which fuelled his sex attacks on his victim - who was aged under EIGHT - for a period of two years.
The boy, now 13, was today ordered to sign the Sex Offender’s Register after he admitted living out his sexual fantasies by committing rape and attempted rape between the age of 10 and 12.
Described as an “extremely worrying and sad” case by a judge, Mold Crown Court heard how the boy himself had been subjected to physical and sexual abuse during his childhood by his mother’s partner.
Judge Niclas Parry said the youngster had been neglected by his own mother for seven years who knew he was spending hours every day looking at web porn.
The boy, who was sat in court with social workers and employees of a children’s development centre where he is now living, was told he would have been jailed for 10 years if he was an adult.
He was placed on a three-year youth rehabilitation order with supervision and a residency order so that he remains at the centre where he now lives.
The court also heard the boy, from Llandudno, north Wales, was not prevented from witnessing his mother and her boyfriend having sex.
Judge Parry said: “What you were doing was using her to play out fantasies that you had been watching on the internet, images of extreme pornography.
“You were brought up in a home that was clearly without sexual boundaries.”
The young teen, who admitted he was relieved to have been caught, is now set to have therapy to overcome his addiction to pornography.
Paulinus Barnes, prosecuting, said the boy, who legally cannot be named and pleaded guilty to sexual assault, rape and attempted rape, had endured an ‘appalling’ early childhood.
She added: “There was clear evidence of very poor parenting at best and quite deliberate neglect at worst.”
