- Abstract
The article examines a case involving a teen sex offender. The defendant pleaded guilty of raping a minor. Notwithstanding the fact that the defendant was 15 year-old when the crime was committed, the court sentenced him to 12-month detention. The defendant appealed to the British House of Lords, arguing that the conviction was a violation of his right to fair trial and privacy. Legal issues settled by the appellate court when it dismissed the appeal are discussed.
