Three Sydney boys have been charged with the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl in the city's eastern suburbs. According to police, the alleged incident occurred in an alleyway on July 22. On Thursday, search warrants were executed at several homes in the area, leading to the arrest of three boys: one aged 13 and two aged 14. The 13-year-old and 14-year-old boys have been charged with aggravated sexual assault in the company of others, along with two counts of aggravated sexual touching of another person.
The third 14-year-old has been charged with a single count of the same offences. Police seized electronic devices during the searches, which will be subjected to forensic examination. Additionally, two replica firearms, a Glock-style BB gun, three laser pointers, and a potentially stolen number plate were also taken into custody. The three boys have been granted bail and are set to appear in children's court later this month.
