13-year-old charged because of penis size

Sizing it up?

Usually you hear about “size matters”, and are assured it’s a good thing to be bigger.  Women will always say to your face that it doesn’t matter, and then laugh with their friends about the small guys.  To them, it’s always better to be bigger.

But when it comes to the court system in Russia?  Better to be average or small.

On the 5th of this month a 13-year-old Ukranian boy was arraigned in a Russian court,charged as an adult because of his penis size,for stealing a cellphone according to Moscow Times.

This was only the start of his woes however, as when he was sent to prison he was subject to a medical examination.
The doctors concluded from the size of his penis and teeth that he was actually between 16 to 17 years old.

As a consequence when his case came before a Russian court, the judge ruled him old enough to be tried as an adult.
Meanwhile according to Tomas’ relatives and Ukrainian documentation he was only 12 at the time of his arrest.
The regional prison service has ordered a review of the boy's case, the report said.
