Boy raped sister after watching internet porn at school

A boy of 12 raped his younger sister after watching online pornography, prompting a judge to warn on Tuesday that the internet is “not a benign babysitter”.

The boy tried to replicate what he had seen in videos, subjecting the girl, who was under 10, to abuse for more than a year. He was arrested in March and admitted three charges of rape at an earlier hearing.

Before sentencing, Judge Thomas Crowther QC, said: “It’s a sad fact that many boys of his age will have been exposed to adult pornography. But not all boys exposed to it will act as (he) did. He found pornography online and replicated what he saw.

“Let us remind ourselves that the internet is not a benign babysitter but a mirror of adulthood in all its forms.”

OK seriously which kind of school doesn't filter the internet?

And where were their parents?

Oh yeah, I'll see 100+ posts by the end of the day given the recent rape porn threads here stemming from the British PM wanting to ban rape porn.

but kids know how to use proxies these days. A filter can't necessarily tell whether a kid is looking at 18+ material if a proxy is used.
