After the the CAC interview with the victim, and consultation with the district attorney’s office, charges of especially aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault were filed this afternoon in the Carter County Juvenile Court against the two juvenile suspects. The juveniles have been arrested and taken to the juvenile detention center to await an initial appearance in juvenile court next week. The investigation is continuing and I have no further information to release at this time.

I have a redacted initial report attached regarding the
assault of the juvenile. There is an ongoing investigation on the serious
and troubling situation. The victim is a juvenile and involved suspects
are juveniles. This is a delicate matter that we do take seriously.
Our investigators are taking the necessary steps to properly investigate that
include review evidence, properly interview, consult with the district
attorney, the juvenile court, and child protective services. We want to
insure the case is handled properly for all parties that are involved.
The suspect juveniles will receive the appropriate charges after the
investigation is complete.
