Ga. Boys Ages 8 and 9 Charged With Rape
Ga. Boys Ages 8 and 9 Charged With Rape

ACWORTH, Ga. (AP) - Three boys, ages 8 and 9, were being held Monday in a detention center on charges of kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl near a suburban apartment complex, officials said.

The alleged attack happened Thursday and the girl's mother reported it to authorities Sunday, Acworth police Capt. Wayne Dennard said.

"The victim said they were playing outdoors and the girl was forced into a wooded area where she was sexually assaulted, where one of the boys raped her," Dennard told The Associated Press.

The three boys - an 8-year-old and two 9-year-olds - appeared in juvenile court Monday afternoon, dwarfed by the courtroom chairs and wearing navy blue jump suits and shackles. Their names were withheld because of their age.

Cobb County District Attorney Pat Head said the boys could not be charged with felony crimes because of their age but could be tried for alleged delinquent acts that could place them in a juvenile facility for up to five years.

3. How sad, for all involved
I have a good friend who was raped when she was 7 by several 9-year-olds who pulled her into a janitorial closet. All of the parties involved got therapy afterward, and she switched schools.
