WATERTOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- Police have charged a twelve-year-old girl with
sexually abusing a nine-year-old boy four times over a two-month period.
The incidents involved sexual intercourse and genital fondling and occurred
in the boy's bedroom during December and January, Jefferson County
Sheriff's Detective Mark D. DeVito said Friday.
Though no force was involved, the girl has been charged with first-degree
rape and sexual assault charges because of the boy's age, DeVito said. He
refused to release how the children knew each other, but added that they
were not related.
The boy's parents were unaware of the incidents until the youth told them,
DeVito said. The parents then sought an investigation.
