Teen Sex Assault Suspect Surrenders to Police

Hours after an 18-year-old wanted man taunted police in Delaware County -- telling detectives to "come and get me" -- the teen surrendered early Friday morning to police for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl Wednesday. 

Kassim Hill, accompanied by his mother, turned himself in to Darby Police.

The 14-year-old girl was heading to a friend's house Wednesday afternoon when the suspect leaned out his window and told the girl her friend was in his home along the 200 block of North 9th Street in Darby, police said. 

Once inside, Hill forced himself on the girl, investigators said.  The assault was interrupted by a knock on the suspect's door and, when he answered, the person heard the girl's screams and called 911, police said.

Hill, who slammed the door shut and ran out of the back of the home, remained on the loose for more than 24 hours.

The day after the assault, the suspect called the Darby Police station and told detectives he would not turn himself in and to "come and get me," according to investigators.

But Hill's brazen refusal to cooperate only lasted until early Friday morning -- when he and his mother showed up at the station.

The suspect is scheduled to make his first court appearance at 1 p.m. Friday.
