Boy, 14, jailed for knifepoint sex attacks during three-week crime spree
Police said the boy displayed ‘predatory’ behaviour
A “predatory” 14-year-old boy who sexually assaulted two women while armed with a knife in Leicester has been jailed. The child, who cannot be named because of his age, targeted multiple victims in the Newfoundpool area during a three-week crime spree last summer, which also included an attempted robbery and multiple other offences.
Leicester Crown Court heard that the boy carried out the first attack on Wednesday, July 10, when he followed a woman before pushing her to the ground while holding a knife to her face. He then sexually assaulted her.
On Monday, July 29, the boy attempted to rob a woman in Stephenson Drive while he was believed to be armed with a knife. Police said he followed the victim onto a driveway before she managed to scream, causing him to run away.
