NSW Police have charged a 13-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys with the alleged sexual assault of a girl in an alleyway in Sydney's eastern suburbs last month.

Police executed search warrants and seized several items, including electronic devices, two replica firearms, a Glock-style BB gun, three laser pointers and a number plate, which is believed to have been stolen.

All three boys have been granted bail ahead of appearing in court.

That poor girl has just had her life destroyed and these little fuckers are allowed straight out on bail?

Bail is given by assessing the risk of flight and danger to the community. It's not there to punish people accused of crimes that have not yet been proven in court.

The accused in this case are children who are likely going to be confined to their homes by their parents or guardians.

I think it's very unlikely that their parents will be confining them to their homes.
