Boy 11, and his mother arrested after he 'raped his 6-year-old sister' and the mother failed to report the alleged assault

         

An 11-year-old Oklahoma boy and his mother have been arrested after the boy allegedly raped his 6-year-old sister and the mother failed to report the incident, according to authorities. 

Police made the arrests on Friday afternoon after an Oklahoma Department of Human Services worker received a tip about the alleged assault and interviewed family members.


The 6-year-old girl told the human services worker that she was in her bedroom doing homework on Wednesday when her brother and a 7-year-old cousin asked her to pull her pants off, according to a police report obtained by MailOnline. 

The girl said after her pants were off, both of the boys 'put their things in her and it hurt,' the police report states. The victim added that her mother told her not to tell anyone about the incident.

MailOnline is not naming any of the suspects or witnesses in order to protect the identity of the victim.

When the DHS worker confronted the mother, she admitted that she did not take the girl to the hospital or report the incident. The mother said she spoke to her son about the incident and he told her it was his younger cousin who assaulted her daughter.

When officers arrived at the victim's home on Friday, they interviewed the brother and placed him under arrest on a charge of rape in the first degree.

They also interviewed an older sister, who said she learned of the alleged assault on Thursday, a day after it reportedly happened.
 
'She stated she was was getting ready for work on [Thursday] and heard [the victim and her brother] arguing,' the police report states. When she asked them what they were fighting about, her brother claimed that their little sister was assaulted by their cousin.

He said the cousin pulled his pants down along with the girl's pants and 'touched [her] with his penis but did not penetrate.' 

The brother said he got mad and told his cousin to leave, but that the cousin returned shortly. The brother also admitted to kissing his sister on the cheek and stated that his cousin has been going around school 'telling kids what we did.'

The older sister called her mom and told her what she knew. She said her mother was already aware of the incident and that she did not know why her mother didn't report it or take the girl the hospital.

The mother was arrested on a complaint of failing to report child abuse, while the 6-year-old girl was taken to hospital and placed in protective custody.
