    Maybe I’m unclear on what you don’t understand about the details that have been provided. What is your perception of the difference between being arrested and detained? Sexual harassment (and sexual assault as described above) is a crime in civilized places. Detention and arrest are part of a process to document and investigate alleged crimes. Those steps in the process are not the punishment though, that would be sorted out during sentencing if the prosecution is successful in court.

      I thought arrest is when police officials put you in a cell / restrict your movement and initiate a case. Wich seems too harsh for a minor.

      And by detention I mean school detention from classes.
