The 14-year-old boy who was charged with several counts of Sacrilege was reportedly placed at a Secured Residential Facility.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to reports, the placement was made by the Child Justice Board after the teenager met with the body on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Child Justice Act 2015 creates\u00a0<\/span>a separate criminal justice process for accused persons under the age of 18.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Child Justice Board, which was established by the Act, is responsible for determining whether\u00a0cases involving minors can be diverted from the regular justice system before a plea is taken.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Possible diversion options include an order to issue an apology, attend counselling or make restitution.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the matter cannot be diverted, the board may allow a prosecutor to assess whether there is enough evidence for the matter to go to trial.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 14-year-old is accused of breaking into the Jennings Wesleyan Holiness Church on three separate occasions, between 1st and 2nd September; October 20th and 26th, and November 25th and 26th, 2019.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He is also accused of breaking into Bolans Pentecostal Church, between October 13th and 14th, 2019 and the Bolans Seventh-Day Adventist Church between 13th and 15th October, 2019.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was further charged for breaking into Cedar Hall Moravian Church in Jennings, sometime between October 27th and 28th, 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
