Teen charged with sexually assaulting 7-year-old girl

A 13-year-old Manassas boy has been charged with sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl on Friday, police said.

The victim told police that the boy assaulted her multiple times — at least once in the 9900 block of King George Drive, in the West Gate of Lomond neighborhood — for about a year, Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok said.

The boy was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery and two counts of indecent liberties by a child, Perok said.

The boy’s court date and bond information were not immediately available.

Police did not release the identity of either kid due to their age.

 I remember almost 35 years ago coming home from work to face a tragic story about our little 3-year old neighbor being abducted and taken across the road into what was then Barrett Field.  She was  assaulted.  Was she raped?  No, but only because she was so young and it wasn’t for lack of effort on the part of the 16 year old perp.
