WYDaily will continue to update the story.
Original story:
A 14-year-old has reported that she was raped while attending a football game at Bruton High School, according to police.
The teenage girl was attending a football game Sept. 22 at Bruton High School when she was allegedly raped by a teenage boy, according to York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Shelley Ward.
Ward said the alleged assault occurred outside on school property during the game, and not inside the school itself. It was also out of the public’s view, she said.
The 14-year-old girl and her parents reported the alleged rape to the sheriff’s office two days later, on Sept. 24, police said.
The police report does not specify whether a rape kit was done at a hospital, Ward said.
The victim was unable to give the boy’s last name, she added.
York County School Division spokeswoman Katherine Goff said both the victim and boy accused of raping her are not York County students.
Since they are not students at the school, York County school administrators have not taken any disciplinary actions, Goff said.
Goff added the division was notified of the incident by police after the victim made a report.
Police have not charged anyone in connection with the incident, Ward said.
The incident is still under investigation.
