Autistic teenager ‘groomed’ by AFP sentenced for separate terrorism offence

An autistic teenager freed after pleading guilty to threatening a Melbourne synagogue and sharing extremist material on Thursday received a 12-month supervision order. The 18-year-old, previously charged in 2021 when a magistrate found police had "encouraged" his radicalisation, spent 357 days in custody. His parents plan Federal Court action against the AFP, alleging discrimination based on age and disability.
