It's a startling allegation for anyone whose child takes a school bus.
Jefferson County Under Sheriff Joe Nole said a 12-year-old boy in the Chimacum School District is accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl on the school bus they shared.
Nole said the sheriff's department began investigating the alleged crime in March and recommended the boy be charged with child rape in the first degree, child molestation in the first degree, and indecent liberties in April.
Prosecuting Attorney Michael Haas requested a follow up investigation which he received today and has not made a final determination about charges.
"In this type of case, where the charges are so serious and the suspect is so young, we want to make sure we are doing everything as accurately as possible and evaluate the facts as best we can," Haas said.
KING 5 is not identifying the suspect because he is a minor.
KING 5 spoke to the girl's aunt and guardian, who is only being identified as "Rose" to protect her niece's identity.
"I'm angry, I'm confused I feel upset for my niece," said Rose, who found out about the alleged assault after her niece came home from school bleeding.
"When we got to the doctor I found out," Rose said. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around it."
Somehow no one noticed the assault, not other students and not the bus driver responsible for the girl's safety.
