A TEENAGE boy has been sentenced after admitting he sexually touched a four-year-old.
The Oxfordshire teen, aged 15, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced at Oxford Magistrates' Court on Monday (December 11) for two counts of assault of a boy under 13 by touching.
He pleaded guilty to both offences, which occurred in the middle of last year, on October 25 at the same court.

The case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
He was handed a 12-month referral order to a youth offending team – a group which works with young people that get into trouble with the law, are arrested, or taken to court, and help them stay away from crime.
The teen was also made subject to a restraining order to not contact the victim.
