A 15-year-old boy facing multiple sexual offence charges has been granted conditional bail by a district judge. The case was heard at Wellingborough Youth Court, where the youth, whose identity is protected due to his age, stands accused of rape and sexual assault involving eight girls. The alleged victims were between the ages of 10 and 15 at the time of the incidents.

The court proceedings revealed that the charges encompass serious offences, including rape, with the youngest alleged victim being just 10 years old. The judge allowed bail under specific conditions, aiming to balance the presumption of innocence with public protection considerations. Details of the bail conditions have not been disclosed.

No further information about the case or the alleged incidents was made available at the hearing. The prosecution and defense did not comment publicly following the bail decision. The matter remains under investigation as the legal process continues.
