Boy, 8, accused of playground sex assault
Pioneer Press ^ | August 4 2006 | DOUG BELDEN

An 8-year-old boy accused of sexually assaulting a second-grade classmate last week at a St. Paul elementary school now faces expulsion.

The incident happened on the playground at Four Seasons A+ Elementary, which holds classes year round, as students waited for buses just before the end of the day July 24.

The boy is believed to have approached an 8-year-old girl on a slide, forced her to kiss his private parts and then simulated sex on her, according to school district officials and members of the girl's family.

The slide was enclosed by a tube, making it impossible for the teacher on duty to see what was happening, said Marilyn Baeker, acting area superintendent who oversees Four Seasons.

St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh confirmed that police received a report alleging sexual contact between two juveniles, both age 8, had occurred at Four Seasons.

A sex crimes investigator looked at the case, but because of the suspect's age, it went no further with police, Walsh said. Under Minnesota law, children under age 10 cannot be charged with criminal offenses.

Police referred the case to a Ramsey County program for young offenders, All Children Excel. The program aims to identify children age 9 and under who are at high risk of becoming what is known as serious, violent and chronic offenders.

The boy was suspended and has been recommended for expulsion, said district spokesman Rich Goldsmith.

Another second-grade boy who was present during the incident was suspended for a week, Baeker said. She said that boy is not believed to have participated directly in the alleged assault but also did not intervene to help.

One of Klinton's illegitimate progeny, perhaps?

Bizarre. This would make me want to look into the home life of this child. I'm trying hard not to make assumptions, but it is so strange.

The kid must have just hearing the unfiltered history of the Clinton presidency.

Maybe it's the TV channels that are on in the living room. How many Viagra and Cialis commercials has this child heard?

The more that our pop culture sexualizes children, the more this kind of thing will happen.

No question, where these kids got the idea from....

And in the peculiar underground world in which school children dwell in, these sorts of ideas have WIDE currency. No matter HOW much their parents show concern and try to keep them protected.

Another strong argument for home-schooling.

When I was 8 years old, I didn't know what sex was.

a boy of 8 does not know about pelvic thrusts or oral sex unless he's seen hard core pornography, or been abused himself. I agree, look into the home life of that boy. This doesn't pass the smell test.

My first thought was, "Where does an 8 year old learn about these things"?

Then I realized he probably learned about it from TV News during the rein of our previous President, Bill Clinton, who made oral sex an acceptable topic of discussion.

Kind of makes one wonder if one or both of the parents are into pornography.
