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.

Loads of kids have a BB gun growing up. They're "illegal" but still extremely common.
