A Waterloo teenager was sentenced to 60 days in custody yesterday after admitting in a Guelph court he tried to hit two other boys at a youth treatment centre in the face with his penis.
It's a manoeuvre known around the facility as "a helicopter."
The 16-year-old had been charged with two counts of sexual assault, but pleaded guilty to the reduced charges of common assault.
Last Dec. 19, the two victims were lying on their beds at the Portage centre near Elora when the teen came in. He removed his penis from his pants and, while holding it, tried to strike the victims. He did not make contact with either boy.
Defence counsel Terence MacKean said one of the victims told police helicopters "are a normal thing" at the treatment centre, and reported the accused was laughing during the incident.
Justice David Carr said despite evidence helicopters are common, "it's degrading to those it's directed toward."
