Boy Accused In Sex Assault Charged Again

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― One of two preteen Naperville boys accused of sexually assaulting a classmate last year is now charged with beating the victim the day after that alleged attack.

Charles Pelkie, spokesman for Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, would only confirm Tuesday a misdemeanor battery complaint has been filed against the 11-year-old implicated in the sex crime.

Pelkie said the physical attack occurred Nov. 12, with the battery charge formally filed last week. He would not say where the alleged attack occurred or comment further on the matter.

The battery allegedly occurred the day after the 11-year-old and a 12-year-old friend were charged as juveniles with sexually assaulting an 11-year-old classmate. All three boys attend Gregory Middle School, 2621 Springdale Circle, although the alleged sex assault occurred in a home on Naperville's far south side.

Glasgow's office has filed felony charges of criminal sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse against both suspects, along with misdemeanor charges of battery. Those cases are pending in court.

Both suspects were moved out of the victim's classrooms and placed in other rooms.

The parents of the alleged victim and others attended last week's meeting of the Indian Prairie School District 204 Board of Education to demand the suspects' immediate suspensions or expulsions.

District 204 officials were not immediately available for comment on the most recent charge and arrest.
