(KAIR)--A 16-year-old boy is accused of rape.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the teen was arrested Monday, following an investigation that began earlier this month. “We began an investigation in early April that focused on unlawful sexual activity involving a female under the age of 14. That investigation determined that this activity occurred on more than one occasion between January and March of this year, at a residence, in Atchison.”
Wilson said the victim was acquainted with the accused teen at the time of the alleged crimes. “Under Kansas law, sexual activity that's been determined to have occurred in this case, with a person under the age of 14, elevates it to a case of rape.
Following his arrest, the 16-year-old was transported to juvenile detention.
