London, June 25 (ANI): Two teenage brothers have been found guilty of sexually assaulting their sister, 6.

But a jury at Birmingham Crown Court was dismissed after it failed to come to the final conclusion on the rape charges following a two-week trial.

The accused, aged 15 and 13, had denied that they abused their sister at the family home in Birmingham between September 2006 and May last year.

The 15-year-old boy was convicted of sexual assault of a child on four counts. Two of those incidents were related to indecent behaviour with another sister.

The second boy accused in the case was found guilty of sexual assault on two counts, both relating to abuse of the six-year-old girl, reports The Telegraph.

Prosecutors told the court that they did not wish to offer any more evidences relating to the rape charges.

Both boys were ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register.

“In spite of their ages the law requires that they must sign the Sex Offenders Register,” Judge Thomas, who will carry out sentencing at a later date, said.

“These are very worrying offences for such young people to have committed,” he added. (ANI)
