I am a retired PhD psychologist with 40 years clinical experience. Early in my career I did forensic --- court/jail/juvi/adult/sexual offender work.
Outpatient/emergency services/some residential. Colleagues were MSWs, LPCCs, etc.

Right, no way 1:1 can be done indefinitely. And female facility is not appropriate.

I agree, specialized adolescent sexual offender treatment in residential setting. Which offers individual and group therapy.
With accommodations for high risk teens.

But of course you are correct, there could be some other issues going on which are amenable to treatment.
Drug/alcohol/bipolar/other psychosis/intellectual deficit/ etc.

Teen could be in an abusive home, being sexually abused himself, so removal would help.

Many factors to consider, and would need a thorough professional psych evaluation.
