    Court convicted the juvenile of rape but imposed a community service order of 120 aggregate hours within six months under Section 91(1)(da) Children Act 2001 because the facts and evidence indicated immaturity and mitigating circumstances, the welfare officer recommended non‑custodial treatment, the offence was not assessed at the highest level of sexual violence, and statutory mechanisms exist to enforce compliance; therefore community service was appropriate rather than imprisonment.
