A teenage boy is said to have raped his eight-year-old sister after watching pornography.

The student is said to have forcefully had sex with his sister after watching the X-rated content on his X-Box.

The boy said he raped his sister because he wanted to ‘try out’ what he watched and that he chose her because she was little.

Daily Mail reports:

The teenager told police he used the games console to view explicit material before he ‘decided to try it out’.

The boy said he targeted his younger sister because she was small and ‘couldn’t remember stuff’.

 

At Blackburn Magistrates Court yesterday the boy admitted rape, indecent assault and inciting his sister to perform a sexual act on him.

The youngster, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has been bailed to live with relatives away from his sister while a pre-sentence report is being prepared.

Fiona Elvines, from the Rape Crisis Charity, said that children accessing pornography was a ‘growing concern’.

She said: ‘This is going to completely destabilise this little girl’s life..

‘When children see porn, they have no context for what it is used for. There is pressure on children to be sexualised, particularly on younger boys, to start having sex.

‘It is coming from peers and porn.’

Ban: The Government has said that by the end of 2014 users of all internet devices – including games consoles and computers – will be automatically blocked from viewing adult content
