United KingdomA 14-year-old boy from Nottinghamshire was given a three-year youth rehabilitation order instead of a custodial sentence after downloading a TikTok video that explained how to make explosives and spraying racially aggravated graffiti on a woman's fence. The boy pleaded guilty to offenses including gathering information related to terrorism, racially aggravated criminal damage, and possessing an offensive weapon. Police found a knuckle duster at his mother's home during a search. The video he downloaded was analyzed by experts and found not to provide detailed instructions on making explosives. The graffiti included a swastika, a racial slur, and a reference to the Christchurch terror attacker Brenton Tarrant, which deeply affected the victim, a woman of color living alone. The judge acknowledged the severity of the offenses but emphasized the boy's age, lack of terrorist ideology, and susceptibility to influence.
