WENATCHEE, Wash. – A 14-year-old boy in Washington state has been charged with second-degree rape after prosecutors say he sexually assaulted three students on a football team bus trip.
But the parents and attorney of the boy say it was horseplay among boys.
Prosecutors say the boy penetrated three other boys with his finger Sept. 6 on a bus bringing the freshman football team back from a game. The family's attorney, Brandon Redal, says the incident stemmed from "horseplay" and that the evidence doesn't support rape charges.
The Wenatchee World reports the teen was charged Monday. He is being held on a $50,000 bail. Juvenile prosecutor Allen Blackmon says the boy could face a year or more in state detention on each count, given a prior run-in with the law.
