Girl Tells Police Boys Molested Her

A 14-yearold girl told police that three teenage boys molested her in the woods near Lake City High School Tuesday.

The girl and two of her friends were eating lunch in the wooded area near Ramsey Road and Hanley Avenue, according to a Coeur d’Alene Police report.

At about 12:30 p.m. the school bell rang and the girl’s two friends left while she stayed to finish lunch.

The three boys, who appeared to be between the ages of 15 and 17, approached the girl and started talking to her, according to the report.

The boys told her they had something to show her farther back in the wooded area and the girl followed them.

One of the boys grabbed the girl by the arm and she fell. The three boys then held her down and fondled her, according to the report.

When they were done she was able to get up and go back to school.

The girl told police she does not think the three boys go to school at Lake City High School.

Coeur d’Alene Police Capt. Carl Bergh said police had not yet been able to identify the youths.

The first youth is described as a skinny white male with broad shoulders and short blondish brown hair. He had a goatee and was wearing brown shorts pulled down low with a dark shirt.

The second teen is a stocky youth with a lot of acne and a lot of dark hair on his arms. He was wearing stone-washed jeans, a white T-shirt and a purple baseball hat worn backwards.

The third teen had a large nose, black shoulder-length hair and dark complexion. He wore stone-washed jeans, a blue and red dyed T-shirt and a blue baseball hat.
