A 15-year old girl in frequent trouble with the law because of a heroin addiction, was told she’ll be facing increasing jail time unless she cleans up.
Crown Counsel Gordon Baines said the young girl, who can’t be identified, is often found in the company of older men who feed her drugs and take advantage of her.
In a bold move, Baines said the men will be advised by the court that if they are found with her they will be charged with inducing a breach and could face jail time as well.
The girl was released from jail yesterday and sent to a treatment program.
