Juvenile Arrested After Breaking into Home & Attempting Sexual Assault

Posted on by

Sully Police District – A 911 hang-up phone call led to the arrest of a 16-year-old who broke into a home with the intent to sexually assault an elderly victim.

At 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 23, officers responded to a home in the 14600 block of Northwest Place in Chantilly for a 911 hang-up call. An officer from the Sully Police District found the distraught homeowner being followed by a male suspect inside the victim’s home, who was claiming to be her grandson. The victim disputed the claim and the officer attempted to detain the suspect. He tried to flee but was quickly taken into custody by the officer.

Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau determined the victim heard a knock on her door and was confronted by the juvenile suspect, who then forced his way into the home. The victim attempted to call 911 but was assaulted by the suspect, preventing her from relaying information. The suspect forced the victim to a bedroom and his further assault was stopped when officers arrived.

The juvenile was charged with Burglary with the Intent to Rape, Abduction with the Intent to Defile, Preventing a 911 call, and Assault and Battery.
