On Tuesday, the 14-year-old — whose name has not been released by police — was charged with desecration of a venerated object, the Smoking Gun reported. If convicted, he could wind up spending two years in a juvenile jail, according to Kron 4.
“Desecration” is defined in Pennsyvlania as ““Defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise, physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action.”
Patheos.com notes that in Pennsylvania, a vandalism charge usually carries a maximum penalty of only one year in jail. JT Eberhard writes:
So let’s say an adult (subject to harsher penalties than minors) elected to spray paint “Jesus loves dicks” on the side of this boy’s school. That guy, at most (and the “at most” comes in to play for people with previous criminal records, which this boy doesn’t have), would serve a year in jail – and that’s assuming the cost of having the wall re-painted exceeds $150, otherwise the penalty would be less.
But a 14 year-old does something stupid that causes literally zero property damage and he could face two years in juvenile jail because it’s a “venerated object”? That’s insane. That’s really ludicrous.

Hope they keep him in there until he turns 18 and it costs his parents a fortune, they should have taught the boy to respect others.
Was the statue damaged? If it was, it is indeed vandalism.Have we raised such a stupid millennium generation that they commit vandalism and photograph it for the freaking Police to see? Let him plead insanity for all I care.
There are a lot of religious statues out there, and we should not want to start to see this happening a lot which is likely to happen if nothing is done. It is despicable.

To me, this is a very simple case. If the kid damaged or defaced the statue he may be prosecuted; however the penalty cannot be enhanced because the damage was to a venerated religious object. If the damage to the statue was $50, he would get the same penalty as someone who caused $50 worth of damage to his neighbor's old Volvo. No law can require anyone to show deference to any religious object.
If there was no damage there can be no crime. This is one of the strongest cases I have ever heard involving freedom of speech. The fact that his conduct/speech was offensive is meaningless under the law. The First Amendment was created for the purpose of protecting offensive speech (non-offensive speech really needs no protection). A lot of people are offended by the burning of the American Flag but the SCOTUS ruled this conduct to be protected under the First Amendment. The kid's manners are atrocious but what he did does not rise to the level of a crime.
It appears that the young man can claim two violations of his first amendment rights: (1) he is being punished for his religious (anti-Christian) activities; and (2) his speech, whether through words or conduct, is Constitutionally protected and the government is unlawfully trying to silence him.
I have studied many First Amendment cases and I know how the court SHOULD rule in this case; however, it seems that the whole damn word has gone looney tunes lately so I can never be certain how it WILL rule.
