US EditionHomophobic Gang to Face Crown Court Sentence over Train Station Assault
PERTH, AUSTRALIA, JUN 18 – Five teenagers received juvenile detention sentences up to two years for premeditated assaults on gay men using fake Grindr profiles to lure victims to parks in Perth's southern suburbs.
- Five teenage boys in Perth used a fake Grindr profile in 2023 to lure gay and bisexual men to isolated spots, where they violently attacked and robbed them.

- Victims endured tasering, punching, stripping, and threats, with some assaults filmed and shared online, causing long-term trauma and mental scarring.
- The Perth Children's Court sentenced the youths earlier this year, with the longest detention lasting two years and two months and others receiving at least 18 months each.
