 MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. -- An 8-year-old boy accused of fondling four female classmates will be the youngest participant in Wayne County's sex offender rehabilitation program, prosecutors said.

The boy, who was not identified because of his age, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and no contest to a felony assault charge. He was sentenced Wednesday.

If he completes the program, the felony charge will be dropped. The boy will receive individual counseling because the group sessions for teenagers are not age-appropriate, prosecutors said. The judge also sentenced him to two years probation.

Authorities said the boy fondled a 7-year-old girl and touched three other 7-year-old girls inappropriately outside their clothing while the children watched "Mary Poppins" at a Mount Clemens school in May.

Defense attorney Richard Marcil said he was satisfied with the outcome of the case.

That's pretty wacky stuff. I hope they can rehabilitate this hardened bastard before he ends up killing people or cheating in a spelling bee.

At least he's getting therapy early, so bigger mistakes and lives aren't ruined later.
