A 14-year-old Somali refugee raped two Utah women in 2011. But after six years in a juvenile detention center, he’ll get a chance at probation instead of prison time.

As he stood at the courtroom podium Monday morning, his hands and legs shackled together, 20-year-old Mohammed Ali Mohammed admitted he did “very, very horrible things” six years ago.

At age 14, the Somali refugee sexually assaulted two women at knifepoint on consecutive nights in Salt Lake City. He attacked one woman who was standing outside of her home, and on the following night, broke into another woman’s home and assaulted her there before demanding she go to an ATM and withdraw $400 for him.

But now, after six years in a secure juvenile detention facility, Mohammed says he’s learned a lot, and is ready to show he’s a different person than the boy who assaulted the two women in 2011.
