The answer

The hadd (punishment) for sodomy is not applied to a non-pubescent individual, nor is a specific (expiation) obligatory upon him, because "only an adult is to be stoned." If this person needs to consult a trustworthy psychiatrist, there is no harm in it. However, he should not disclose to the psychiatrist, from what must be concealed of his reprehensible act, anything more than what necessity dictates.
