A 13-year-old boy has been taken into custody after allegedly sexually violating his cousin, an 8-year-old girl.
On Friday evening the mother of an 8-year-old girl invited a relative and their 13-year-old son, the girl's cousin, to spend the weekend at their home to accompany them to an amusement park on Sunday.
The mother of the 8-year-old girl reported leaving to run errands on Saturday morning. When she returned, she saw the boy exiting the girl's room. According to the mother, the boy acted suspiciously, but evaded her questions about why he had been in the girl's room. When the mother questioned her daughter about what happened, she was also evasive.
After noticing blood on the girl's pajamas, she reportedly took the girl to the hospital, where it was determined that the girl had been sexually violated.
The hospital contacted the police at the mother's request. When the boy was questioned by police, he revealed incriminating information. The boy was then taken and booked for committing a lewd act with a minor at the Orange County Juvenile Hall.
An investigation is ongoing.
