Idaho town torn by alleged rape, fear of refugees | Fox News

Does any community have the right to know the details of this alleged sexual assault of a 5-year old girl by other minors? Would you want to know if your neighbor's children are sexual predators, or do we maintain our 'just keep walking, nothing to see here' mentality?

REPORT: Davis Odell, a [Twin Falls, ID] community resident who has been in close contact with the victim’s family said the boys dragged the unnamed girl [who is 5-years old and special needs] into a utility room in the Fawnbrook Apartments, a low-income, subsidized housing complex in Twin Falls, and assaulted her in an attack that ended when a neighbor happened upon the scene and called police. “They stripped her naked, and urinated in her mouth,” Odell told FoxNews.com, citing his conversations with the girl's family.

Neither the Twin Falls Police Department nor Loebs confirmed the details given by Odell. Loebs did confirm that the incident was reported on June 2, and that two juvenile suspects were finally charged Thursday and arrested a day later. The prosecutor did not say why just two arrests had been made, and said the case is sealed due to its sensitive nature and the minors involved.

NOT WHOLLY UNRELATED REPORT: This year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that the number of women and girls who may have undergone the procedure in the past or may be at risk for undergoing the procedure in the future more than tripled in the U.S. from 2000 to 2013 and that more than 500,000 women and girls in America may be at risk in their lifetime. “[That is] threefold higher than the last time we did a similar estimate in the ’90s and, in fact, fourfold higher in girls under the age of 18,” said Dr. Thomas Clark, a medical epidemiologist at the CDC’s division of reproductive health. Officials from various organizations attribute the increase in the U.S. to a combination of factors, including an influx of female immigrants who were cut in their homelands, American-born women and girls sent abroad for vacation cutting and others who undergo the procedure in the U.S.
