The woman had to be taken to the hospital afterwards. Hearing the details in court today, the teenager was said to have been crying, using his T-shirt to wipe away tears.

 

The Australian News reports:

On April 26, the 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, went into the home of the elderly woman, stole from her, assaulted her and attempted to sexually penetrate her.

The woman required hospital treatment after the ordeal.

Five other charges were dropped because they doubled up on those the teenager had pleaded to, or were “not in the public interest” to continue.

 

The boy will be sentenced on August 23.
