A Russian court has ruled that a teen who is accused of theft can be treated as an adult based on the size of his genitals.
The teen, who claims to be 13, is accused of stealing a cellphone back in March. Tomas, who is from the Ukraine but came to Moscow to live with his aunt, denies taking the phone, the Moskovsky Komsomolets reported Tuesday.

There was apparently some dispute about the boy's age, so a medical examination of Tomas' teeth and genitals was conducted by prison doctors. After the examination, it was concluded that the boy is between 16 and 17 years old and therefore legally viewed as an adult. Based on that decision, the court was able to put Tomas behind bars.
