Seven-year-old boy from New York state accused of rape. This is reported by the local radio station WWNY.
The incident occurred on Thanksgiving, but other details and the name of the child did not disclose.
New York lawyer Anthony Martoon stressed that the matter is absurd, as the boy could not really realize what he was doing. “The side of the accusations will have to prove that he really physically committed this act, which seems to me almost impossible,” the lawyer noted.
Earlier it was reported that the authorities of France decided to amend the legislation in which sex with a child under 15 will be equated with rape. According to current legislation, sexual intercourse is considered rape, regardless of age. At the same time, sex with children under 15 years old is another offense providing for a softer punishment.
