A 16-year-old Rockdale County middle school student was charged with statutory rape for having sex with a 14-year-old boy, according to police reports.
According to the incident report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution from the Rockdale County Sheriff Office, Memorial Middle School officials saw video footage of the teens enter the boys’ bathroom together on Feb. 25, and emerge 10 minutes later.
When school officials questioned the teens, both admitted to having consensual sex on the bathroom floor, authorities said.
The 16-year-old girl acknowledged that she was the aggressor, asking the boy to get on the floor with her after they started kissing, according to the incident report.
Both teen’s parents were notified, authorities said.
Neither teen has been identified because they are juveniles.
According to Georgia state statute, a person commits statutory rape if the victim is at least 14 years old but less than 16 and the suspect is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than four years older than the victim.
A misdemeanor statutory rape charge was filed as a juvenile court complaint and the 16-year-old was turned over to the custody of her parents, Rockdale County Sheriff’s spokesman Investigator Michael Camp said.
