CHILDREN CHARGED IN RAPE

A 12-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl have been charged with raping and sodomizing a 7-year-old girl who was dropped off at the boy's home every morning to wait for the school bus.

James City County Police Capt. Ken Middlebrook said the 7-year-old told her father about the attacks on Nov. 17. She said the boy repeatedly had sexual intercourse with her and made her perform oral sex on him. She said the 10-year-old girl penetrated her with her fingers and also forced her to perform oral sex, Middlebrook said.

Police reports say the sexual activity had been going on for about a month. The girl could not recall how many times the boy had sexual intercourse with her.

"She told her father the boy said he would beat her up and kill her if she said anything," Middlebrook said.

The names of the children are being withheld because they are juveniles. The boy is charged in juvenile court with making threats to kill, forcing a child under the age of 13 to engage in fellatio and having unlawful carnal knowledge of a child. The 10-year-old girl was charged with assault by threatening to do bodily harm and feloniously forcing a child to engage in oral sodomy. - Associated Press
