How does 19 equal "young offender"?

I thought a "young offender" was a minor. 19 is not a minor. (They may FEEL like one to those of us Older Than Dirt, but the law considers anyone 18 or more as a legal adult.) So why was he not prosecuted as an adult for crimes committed while old enough to qualify as one?
