13-Year-Old New Port Richey Teen Accused Of Raping 3-Year-Old Boy

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL -- A 13-year-old New Port Richey boy has been charged with sexual battery on a child after a woman reportedly caught him raping her 3-year-old grandson in a backyard shed.

According to Pasco County Sheriff's deputies, around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the teen boy took the 3-year-old into the shed, removed his clothes and the little boy's clothes and then anally penetrated him while holding his hand over the child's mouth to keep him from crying out. The boy was finally able to yell for help and his grandmother found them in the shed while the teen was still sexually abusing the boy.

It is Patch's policy not to reveal the names of juveniles accused of crimes.
