Cop: 9-Year-Old Raped by Students

NEW YORK (AP) - A 9-year-old girl was raped by two 12-year-old classmates in a school stairwell hours after she was coerced into having sex in the same area by an 11-year-old boy, police said.

The 11-year-old has been charged with sodomy while the two older boys face rape and sodomy charges.

The attacks happened Monday after the boys' sixth-grade class was combined with the girl's fourth-grade class when the teacher for the older students was absent, police spokeswoman Cheryl Cox said.

Margie Feinberg, a Board of Education spokeswoman, said the classes were combined because the school did not have enough time to get a substitute teacher.

The 11-year-old somehow got the girl to leave the classroom and go to a foyer area, where she agreed to have sex, police said. Two hours later, the 12-year-old boys forced the girl to the same spot and she was attacked again, police said.

They ran away when they saw an approaching school aide, who summoned a school safety officer.

It was not the first sexual assault this year at Community School 200 in Harlem. On March 30, a 7-year-old boy allegedly sodomized a 7-year-old girl, according to police reports. The girl was hospitalized and both students are undergoing counseling, police said.

The 7-year-old is too young to be charged, police said.
