3 Boys Accused of Sexual Assault on Campus
Three seventh-grade boys from a Tulare County school face expulsion after being accused of sexually assaulting at least five girls on campus, school officials said.
Tulare County sheriff’s detectives began investigating the complaints from girls this week. The boys are accused of holding the girls, groping them and forcing them into sexual positions. No other sex acts are alleged to have occurred, said Sheriff’s Lt. Donna Perry. Two of the boys are 12 and one is 13.
The boys face an expulsion hearing Oct. 28, said Superintendent Cliff Gordon.
