FROM AUSTRALIA:
A BOY who was aged 12 when he raped a four-year-old boy and later tried to rape a three-year-old has been denied a chance to appeal his three-year detention.
The boy - who cannot be named for legal reasons - was sentenced in June at the District Court in Townsville and ordered to serve 70 per cent of his three-year detention.
He was also given a three-year probation order with convictions recorded.
The Queensland Court of Appeal today refused the now 14-year-old's application for leave to appeal the sentence on the grounds it was manifestly excessive.
Court papers state the boy raped his four-year-old victim underneath a house in May 2007 and later tried to rape a three-year-old boy under a house but was stopped by another child.
Questioned by his father, the boy told him he had been molested himself, papers said.
The judgment referred to a psychiatrist's report which diagnosed the boy with a disorder and found he did not have the capacity to fully understand what he had done was wrong or feel remorse.

"For these reasons I believe he is quite likely to become a very dangerous young man,'' the report said.
A report by a different psychiatrist noted the boy would masturbate in the company of others despite being told not to.
Another psychological assessment found the boy had a "moderate to high'' probability of committing another sexual offence in the future.
"These reports unhappily present a bleak picture of the applicant and his prospects for rehabilitation,'' the Court of Appeal judgment said.
"He represents a considerable risk to young children with whom he might come in contact.''
