A TEEN thug freed after coward kicking a policeman in the head won't face fresh allegations in court for another nine months.

The 17-year-old boy was given yet another leave pass in the Children's Court and had his case adjourned to December so not to interrupt his VCE studies.

The Herald Sun revealed last month police had charged the wayward youth with further offending but Children’s Court magistrate Greg Levine refused to make the details public.

The teen's lawyer argued the youth planned to fight the charges and "given the allegations are still untested ... and given the decision of Magistrate Levine" no details should be released to the media.

Magistrate Stephen Myall said it would be inappropriate for him to release the documents as there was no change in the circumstances of the case since his fellow magistrate refused it.

With the teen's matter returning to court on Thursday before a different magistrate, the Herald Sun again applied for charge sheets, a public document released to the media from courts on a daily basis, and once again were refused copies.

He suggested any media application would have to go back before Magistrate Levine.

Limited details of the boy's alleged offending was read out in court. The prosecution told the court he has two charges relating to separate offending, but did not elaborate what they were or the circumstances of the alleged crimes.

She only said one relates to the accused allegedly offending on his own, while the other involves two co-accused.

She said they should be heard separately.

The Herald Sun understands one charge relates to a violent armed robbery. Yet the brute has been allowed to roam free.

Magistrate Myall was originally going to adjourn the fresh charges to a contested hearing in October, but the boy's lawyer said that would fall near exam time and impede on his secondary studies.

So each case was pushed back to December.

The latest revelations come after public outrage last month when the teen was given just nine months’ probation without conviction for the brutal Boxing Day attack on the officer at Highpoint Shopping Centre. Police have asked prosecutors to consider an appeal.

The boy kicked the senior constable in the face as he was on his hands and knees detaining a shoplifter.

He rushed towards him and kicked him in the head in an onslaught described as a “soccer kick".

Police arrested him on December 29 and he was bailed days later, only to breach it and be locked up not even 24 hours later.

The boy was already on probation for home invasions and car theft at the time of the assault.

Under reporting restrictions in the Children's Court designed to protect juvenile offenders, the Herald Sun is not allowed to identify the teen, or detail his ethnicity and which suburb he lives in.
