Clermont, FL (January 30, 2019) – Police arrested a 15-year-old boy for performing oral sex on a pair of 3-year-olds in the back of a car because he thought it would “calm them down.”
A man had been driving with the 15-year-old and 3-year-olds when he had to stop and go into a corner store. While the man was inside the store, the juvenile climbed into the back seat of the vehicle and pulled down the boys’ pants, then putting his mouth on their genitals. He then buckled the boys into their seats and got back in his seat before the adult arrived.
The 3-year-olds told somebody at home that the juvenile had touched them. When the juvenile was confronted by deputies, he confessed to the crime, saying that he did it to calm them down and that he knew it was wrong.
The 15-year-old has since been charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim under 12 and sexual battery of victims under 12.
