The Calgary Police Service Child Abuse Unit continues to investigate a sexual assault incident that occurred yesterday in a school field.

At approximately 4:45 p.m., on Monday, Sept. 6, 2010, police were called to Clarence Sansom School, 5840 24 Ave. N.E., for reports of a sexual assault in progress. When officers arrived, 10 youths were located near the bleachers in the field.

Two of the youths, a 12-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy, met a week earlier on a social networking site and had agreed to meet in the school playground. While the group was sitting in the bleachers, the girl and boy became involved in a sexual act. During this time, the eight others remained in the area.

Witnesses inside the school called police indicating there was an incident occurring in the field.

There is no evidence that the witnesses encouraged the sexual assault, however, a cell phone belonging to one of the youths was checked. At this time, no photos or video have been recovered from these witnesses.

It is believed alcohol played a factor in this incident, but to what degree is still being investigated.

Nine of the youths have been interviewed, however, the 12-year-old girl is still recovering from the ordeal and will be interviewed at an appropriate time.

While charges are pending against the 16-year-old, they have not been laid.
