The girl, identified only as "Ashley", was playing with a group of children from her housing complex in April when a neighbor reported an incident to the mother of the 4-year-old, KRIV-TV reports. Ashley was reportedly inappropriately touching the child.
Two months later Ashley was arrested and charged. She spent four days in the Harris County Juvenile Detention Centre.
According to Ashley's mum, the Houston Police sex crimes investigator denied her the right to sit in on a 45-minute interrogation that left her daughter in tears.
Houston Police are not commenting on the case due to the Ashley's age.
Ashley will face court in October on sexual assault charges. "I've never dealt with a child this young being accused of a crime," said Quanell X, who is working with Ashley's family. "In fact this was nothing more than inappropriate horseplay that has now lead to a child that is ten years old being charged with aggravated rape."
Child criminal behaviour must come from somewhere....

Do you think that's why the mother wasn't allowed in the interview?
I'm trying to keep an open mind here all the way around.
That would make sense wouldn't it? Asking the girl what was 'going on' at home?
???
peace

Bingo. Early sexual behavior in children is a red flag that they were likely abused.
