Calgary teen says he assaulted young kids after watching years of gay porn

This article is more than 5 years old.

A 13-year-old boy who sexually assaulted a four-year-old says he got the idea to have sex with the child from watching gay porn in a Calgary foster home.

Police arrested the boy, identified as “T,” in January, after he admitted to forcing sex on two younger children in the home.

The Calgary Herald reports lawyers were supposed to present sentencing arguments for the boy Monday afternoon, but a judge ordered an assessment to determine if he’s fit to stand trial.

“T” remains free on bail, under supervision.

The case is back in court August 21st.
