Waterloo, NY – Teenager Arrested for Rape of 10-Year-Old Girl

Waterloo, NY (April 30, 2019) – On Monday, April 29, police announced the arrest of a 15-year-old boy who allegedly raped a 10-year-old girl earlier this month. According to authorities, the teenage boy from Mentz was charged with first-degree rape, which is a class B felony, for the abuse that was reported to have occurred on April 13.

State Police in Waterloo stated that the incident was reported on the same day that it allegedly happened and that the police were alerted by a member of the suspect’s family. The 15-year-old suspect was arrested at approximately 1:30 p.m. following an interview with the victim that was conducted at the Childhood Advocacy Center of Cayuga County in Auburn, according to police.

Since the suspect is a juvenile, he will need to return to Cayuga County Family Court as opposed to criminal court. At this time, police believe that the incident is a one-time occurrence, although further investigation may be likely to continue.

The uptick in electric scooter riding in New York City has come with a slew of complications, including a rising number of scooter-related injuries . New York City leaders and scooter company officials alike are weighing their options for creating a safer transit environment for these e-scooters. One recent report suggests that the most promising option is to create more third-lane, or bike lane, options for electric scooters. This report, compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), found that most people who are injured in scooter accidents were riding on a sidewalk at the time of their accident. Their research suggests that scooter riders often do not feel safe enough to share the road with cars, so they opt for using sidewalks when bike lanes are not available.

The data show that three out of every five scooter riders who were injured s...
