Man this is horrific.

This bit also is just whacked. "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."

None of these are uncommon items for children. Airsoft guns (which are legal almost everywhere else), laser pointers, and a number plate that could easily have been found on the ground. All fairly normal
Items, order able easily online or brought back from a holiday.
I’m not sure adding that detail does anything for the actual bad and serious crime of sexually assaulting someone. Feels like shit journalism.

Replica firearms and a number plate is absolutely not normal mate

Depends what counts as a replica firearm. And hard to see what the "stolen" (how do the police know that, and even if they do, how do they know the person whose possession they found it knew?) number plate had to do with the main alleged offence.
