Juvenile sex crimes

Juvenile sex crimes refer to when someone under the age of 18 does something that is considered sexual and wrong. This could include touching someone else's private parts without their permission, showing them something sexual, or making them do something sexual that they don't want to do.

These kinds of actions are not allowed because they can hurt other people and violate their bodies and rights. The law has rules in place to protect people from these types of actions, especially when the perpetrator is underage.

If someone is found to have committed a sex crime as a juvenile, they may have to go to court and face consequences like going to a special school, going to therapy, or even going to jail as punishment. This is to help them learn how to behave better and change their hurtful behavior.

It's important to remember that it's never okay to touch someone in a sexual way without their permission, and that everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.
