🎭⚖️Two undocumented migrants, convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl, are about to be sentenced—but not even the court knows how old they really are.
On 8 December 2025, the court handed down these sentences:
- Jahanzeb — 10 years, 8 months (reported as a youth despite zero proof of age)
- Niazal — 9 years, 10 months (also “a youth,” according to… himself)
- Both are now on the sex offenders register for life
- Deportation orders issued or recommended
The sentences reflect the horrific nature of the crime. But let’s not ignore the elephant in the courtroom: nobody verified their ages. No IDs. No records. Just a bold-faced “I’m 17, trust me.”
And somehow, that was enough.
🎯 Justice by Eyeball: “If He Looks 16, He Is 16!”
There’s a reason youth sentencing exists—because teenagers aren’t legally, developmentally, or ethically on the same footing as adults. But when the system starts treating a full-grown man with stubble and a LinkedIn profile as a child because he says so, we’ve stopped doing justice and started doing improv.
No proof of age? No problem! Just throw them into the youth offender system where the sentences are lighter, the conditions softer, and—oh yes—they’ll be housed alongside real teenagers. 👦🏽🔒
This isn’t just a loophole. It’s a gaping chasm of risk, where:
- 🎯 Adult offenders potentially serve time in facilities designed for vulnerable youths
- 🎯 Lighter sentencing is handed down based on nothing more than hearsay
- 🎯 Public faith in justice plummets faster than a trust fund influencer’s apology video
Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t an attack on migrants or asylum seekers. This is about basic safeguarding and equal accountability. We check IDs to buy scratch cards—but not when someone’s convicted of a sex crime?
🎭 “I’m 17, Honest!”: The New Get-Out-of-Jail-Card
Here’s what’s really happening: they’re playing the system, and playing it well.
Claiming youth status means:
- ⚖️ Shorter sentences
- 🛏️ Safer conditions
- 🚫 Avoiding adult prisons
- 🤹🏽 The sympathy card, automatically pulled from the juvenile justice deck
And why wouldn’t they? If telling a convenient lie gets you cushier time with less danger, you’d have to be dumber than the age you claim not to take that deal.
But while they play innocent, it’s the actual minors inside those facilities who’ll pay the price. Vulnerable kids now risk being locked up with predators old enough to rent a car. That’s not “soft justice”—that’s state-sanctioned roulette. 🎰👶🏽
What’s your take? Is this criminal strategy or bureaucratic failure—or both? Should courts be allowed to hand out “youth sentences” with nothing but guesswork? What if your child shared a cell with one of these “maybe minors”?
