Two boys aged 10 and 11 have been found guilty of attempted rape of an eight-year-old girl in London.

When questioned the older of the two boys did not know what rape was, nor did he know how to have sex...
When she was cross-examined earlier in the trial, the eight-year-old told the court she had lied to her mother about what had happened because she had been "naughty" and was worried she would not get any sweets.
Both boys were ordered to register as sex offenders, although the judge said he was "not quite sure" how this applied to children of their age.
That's not to say that nothing happened though...
