A 13-year-old Bellefontaine boy was lodged Thursday in the Logan County Juvenile Detention Center after an investigation of sexual assaults involving two nine-year-old girls and a 10-year-old girl.
He is being held for delinquency counts of rape, gross sexual imposition and importuning.
He allegedly had repeated sexual encounters with two of the girls and tried to convince a third to engage in sexual activity.
Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department learned of the allegations after two of the girls were examined at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. All of the alleged incidents occurred in Bellefontaine.
