Given that the offences happened when he was legally a child he would have been subject to an anonymity order from the judge had the crimes been tried at the time of the offence and had the offences been committed by anyone from a lesser background we would probably never have even heard of it ,only the fact that it was an 'Etonian' that committed the offences has meant that social media and the Mail has gone nuts over it .

.
The sentence does actually meet with the guidelines that judges have to follow and there are a few mitigating factors that the judge has to take into consideration ,he was under 18 yrs at the time ,he pleaded guilty and has undergone psychiatric treatment
