A 13-year-old Delaware boy faces a rape charge for an assault on an 8-year-old child.
The Harrington teenager’s guardian accompanied him as he turned himself into Harrington Police Thursday.
Police said that they began investigating the teenager about a month ago after an 8-year-old girl said he sexually assaulted her inside his home.
NBC10 isn’t naming the suspect since he is a minor and accused in juvenile court.
After Thursday’s arrest, the teenage boy was taken to Stevenson House Juvenile Detention Center unable to post $5,000 secured bail.
Police didn’t reveal any more details about their investigation.
