FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — Three Fresno High School students are in juvenile hall Thursday for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old child.
The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office says they arrested three 14-year-old boys on campus after a school resource officer was told they were sharing explicit video earlier this month.
Investigators say that the video showed the boys sexually assaulting the child.
All three suspects are facing multiple felony charges, including a lewd act with force or fear.
A 4th suspect was identified but has since moved to Mexico.
Fresno Unified has released a statement on the arrests, saying the safety and well-being of all children is “our highest priority.”
We are deeply disturbed and heartbroken by the incident shared by the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office involving students from Fresno High School. While this horrific act did not occur on any Fresno Unified campus, we denounce this behavior in the strongest possible terms.
We are fully cooperating with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office and commend law enforcement for their swift investigation. This remains an active investigation, and we urge anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately.
The safety and well-being of all children is our highest priority. We stand united in our commitment to creating safe, respectful environments-on campus and beyond. We ask our entire community: if you see something, say something. Together, we can help protect every child.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office.
