(ABC-Australia) A 15-year-old Adelaide schoolboy will confess to possessing “extremely depraved” extremist material and coaching others online about how to make bombs, a court has heard.
Prosecutors have asked the South Australian Youth Court to sentence the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, as an adult in the District Court, where a bigger penalty could be imposed.
If he is sentenced in the Youth Court, he faces a maximum of three years’ detention.
Prosecutor Aimee Winra told the court that the “gravity of the offending” meant the boy should be sentenced as an adult.
