11-year-old Girl Charged With Sexual Assault

Milford (AP) — Local police have charged an 11-year-old girl with sexually assaulting another youth in a north Milford neighborhood, the Connecticut Post reported.

The girl's identity and details of the case were not made public because of state laws prohibiting the release of detail information in juvenile cases, police and prosecutors said.

Police arrested the girl last month and charged her with five counts each of sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor, charges that could send an adult to prison for life if convicted.

The existence of the case became public Friday when police released a monthly report on juvenile arrest data for April.

At least one Milford resident, Greg Vetter, 33, said the public has a right to know exactly where the girl lives. He said he understands the need to protect young, first-time offenders, but believes some serious cases should be made public.

“You should be able to know that something has happened in your neighborhood,” Vetter told the newspaper.

A parent, he added, could better protect his or her child when information is available about dangerous juveniles living in their neighborhoods.

A complaint about the 11-year-old girl was made to Milford police on Jan. 8. Investigators obtained a warrant and arrested the girl on April 2.

It was unclear which court was handling the case.



My 12 year old ( daughter ) barely knows what sex is. She knows enough to keep her out of trouble.

OMGosh!!!!!!! That is so sad~ makes you wonder if the little girl was ever sexually abused/assaulted herself!!! Know what I mean?? No 11 yr old child should ever do anything like that unless she has been around it or seen it. That is just sad!

I want to know all the facts before commenting. What if she was "playing doctor" with someone her age or a year younger and then later that child told an adult about it, making it seem the 11 year old assaulted him/her? Just a thought.

My first thought is that it was a case of some little girl grabbing a little boy and giving him a big smooch, against his will, or maybe goosing him on the behind.

It is getting to the point that people will press charges over just about anything, and with no details, I wonder how serious it is. It does not even say what degree of sexual assault the charges are.I saw a case a year or two ago where they wanted to expel a five/six year old boy for sexual assault and all he did was chase a little girl on the playground, catch her and kiss her. Geez, I used to do that when I was a kid.

I hope it is nothing more serious than that

From what I know ( a friend who is a P O has a cousin that works in the city where the girl is ) is that this was a multiple time incident.

Police arrested the girl last month and charged her with five counts each of sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor, charges that could send an adult to prison for life if convicted.

way back when I was in 2nd grade I do recall very well a new boy came in to the class he spoke no English he was from Europe kind of dopey looking you know (Since that time his Mother and Mine were good friends) anyway a wild child pinned him in the corner of the fencing and pants him, he was jolly because so many kids came to see and giggle so she pulled down his underpants with lots of us kids watching. It was sad, he thought it was ok. Well I remember how the teachers found out and we all were asked questions on why that happened and if that was nice, would we want that to happen to us.

so I am guessing maybe the girl who was arrested did something like this too. I hope and nothing too sexual.

:( by the way arresting a 11 year for sexual crime, well that could have been handled better how scarey.

We had a neighbor whose 10 year old daughter was charged with sexual misconduct with a minor and some other things sexual in nature. This child was molesting the neighborhood kids. I didn't know anything about it until she did it to my little sister. I personally pressed charges because it happened in my home (well my backyard) and she got into a lot of trouble (mostly just counseling, but they ended up taking her away from her mom because the mom was letting her do this - she knew about it and hid it from people)

What I do know is that this " little girl " wants to get pregnant and needs some serious mentoring and or counseling.
