Suspect, 16, arrested for sexual assault
A 16-year-old Makakilo boy was arrested yesterday on suspicion of two counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of second-degree terroristic threatening after a 14-year-old girl told police she was assaulted by the boy, whom she knows, on Aug. 22 and 28.
The girl told investigators that the boy threatened to harm her if she went to authorities about the alleged attacks.
The boy was questioned and released pending further investigation.
