3 Boys (11-12) arrested for park "sex assault" on other boys

Boys arrested for park "sex assault" on minors

Tuesday 15 September 2009

LONDON (Reuters) - Three boys have been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two other boys of primary school age in a park in Bristol, police said on Tuesday.

Two 12-year-olds and an 11-year-old were held in connection with the incident in Hengrove Park, Bristol.

But police were quick to play down any comparisons with this month's widely publicised case in Doncaster in which two young brothers admitted a series of horrific attacks on two other boys.

"This incident doesn't warrant comparison with a recent incident in Doncaster, which some media are making," said a spokesman for Avon and Somerset police.

"In this case the victims have suffered no physical injuries. Nevertheless, they and their families are understandably shaken and distressed."

No further details of the incident were immediately available and the ages of the victims were not being released.
