The boy was handed a two-month minimum term on Thursday after being found guilty in May of attacking the girl over a two-hour period on a mattress in the house's living room.The teenage boy was sentenced to nine months' detention with a non parole period of two months.
"Two months in jail equals one month for each hour that he raped and choked our daughter," the father told AAP on Friday. "Given his total lack of contrition ... our family want the justice system to publicly name him. The public have a right to know his name."The boy was charged in 2021, tried this year and found guilty of six counts of sexual assault and one count of intentional choking. He was acquitted of other charges.
While he'd shown no contrition, she deemed his rehabilitation prospects as "strong" based on character references and his family and social ties.
