Boy Charged As Adult
POSTED: 3:23 pm EST February 22, 2006
SEAFORD, Del. -- An 8-year-old Seaford boy is facing adult charges of rape.
The state attorney general's office signed the arrest warrant Tuesday, although the boy has not been arrested.
According to the Seaford police, the boy, whose name is not being released because of his age, raped a 10-year-old girl. Both are students at Seaford Elementary School.
Police said the boy had an accomplice -- a 17-year-old boy -- and an arrest warrant for the older boy is expected later this week.
The victim's mother, who doesn't want to be identified, told WBOC-TV the alleged rape occurred in August. She said the boys approached her daughter while she was riding her bicycle, knocked her down and took her away.
A spokesman with the attorney general's office said the case against the younger boy could go to Family Court. The spokesman said prosecutors are unsure of what disciplinary action would be sought because this may be the youngest sex offender case they've ever had.
