Posted by julenka at 9:26pm Sep 7 '06An 11 year old girl from Milwaukee has been sexually assaulted by a group of up to 20 boys, and a 40 year old man.
Milwaukee doesn't sound like a nice place to live:
But in a tragically ironic twist, The Milwaukee Channel reports that the little girl was born with AIDS. The authorities are now searching for the boys both for being perpetrators of this crime, and for potentially having been infected with HIV/AIDS.
This story makes me sad. :(
According to court papers, the 11-year-old girl told police she was interested romantically in the 16-year-old girl, who looked and dressed like a boy.
The alleged victim and two friends went to the 16-year-old's house, where the child performed oral sex on three teenage boys, according to court papers. The 40-year-old uncle of the 16-year-old admitted he also had sex with the 11-year-old and told police that the 16-year-old was directing the child, the papers said.
The 11-year-old then went to the basement, where there were about 15 males and she told police she "began to choose who she wanted to perform oral sex on," court papers said.
The 16-year-old told police that the 11-year-old had told her she wanted to perform oral sex on the boys in the house. The 16-year-old denied encouraging her.
The 16-year-old girl and the 15-year-old boy were charged with being a party to sexual assault. Torbeson said he will probably seek to have them tried as adults.
Milwaukee doesn't sound like a nice place to live:
Several mob attacks have taken place in Milwaukee's inner city in recent years. In 2002, more than a dozen people, mostly boys, chased a man through the streets and beat him to death with shovel handles, rakes and tree limbs.
A mentally ill man died after being beaten and robbed by a group in 2004. Four days after that attack, a 14-year-old boy was kicked, punched and hit on the head with a piece of lumber after he exchanged words with a girl. He was in a coma for two weeks. Also that summer, four brothers were beaten by a group armed with bats, bottles, sticks and socks stuffed with canned food.
But in a tragically ironic twist, The Milwaukee Channel reports that the little girl was born with AIDS. The authorities are now searching for the boys both for being perpetrators of this crime, and for potentially having been infected with HIV/AIDS.
