A Bucks County teenager accused of trying to rape a classmate at knife point inside a school restroom heads to court Monday to face a slew of serious charges.
Kodi Michael Hendricks, 15, faces adult charges of attempted murder, assault and related charges at his preliminary hearing.
Hendricks chased his 15-year-old Pennridge High School classmate a knife, inside the school along N 5th Street in Perkasie, Pennsylvania on Oct. 17, according to an affidavit of probable cause
The alleged attack occurred before first period, according to police.
Once he caught up to his classmate, Hendricks dragged her down the hallway, forced her into a boy’s restroom and put the knife to her throat in an attempt to get her clothes off and rape her, according to Pennridge Regional Police.
Hendricks never intended to stab the girl, and only used the knife to intimidate her into a rape, according to the affidavit.
A male Pennridge teacher heard screaming coming from the restroom and intervened to stop the attack.
