Boy, 12, charged with rape, sodomy

HIAWATHA, Kan. | — A 12-year-old northeast Kansas boy is charged with rape and sodomy in Brown County.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said Friday the Hiawatha boy was charged last week with two counts of rape and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy.

Hill said he couldn't release any more information on the case because of the suspect's age.

A lawyer has been appointed to represent the boy.
