Overview
- An initial Cleveland police report newly obtained by local media says at least three people saw juveniles assaulting the 5-year-old on Sept. 13.
- Investigators documented a rape kit, a braid torn from the child’s scalp, and clothing as evidence, and the report references video evidence without describing its contents.
- Police say the ongoing juvenile matter involves multiple children under the age of 10 as potential victims and suspects, and no charging decisions have been announced.
- The child was located naked and injured in a field near East 148th Street and was transported to University Hospitals Rainbow Pediatrics for treatment.
- Neighbors organized a toy drive Friday to support the family, as the mother publicly calls for justice while the Sex Crimes and Child Abuse Unit continues its work.
