Two boys, ages 7 and 9, have admitted to raping a toddler.
The 2-year-old victim's brother, age 5, saw the two neighborhood boys abusing his sister and told his mother. The boys initially blamed each other but gave similar details about the Aug. 9 crime, which included penetration.
"What happened to this victim is horrible, nobody is minimizing that," Sanders said. "But my client (age 9) has a lot of problems and needs some immediate help.
Juvenile sex crimes, ranging from sexual touching to penetration with injury, increased by 19.5 percent in 2010 compared to the previous year, said Jerry Maness, the director of court services for Juvenile Court.
More than 150 sexual offenses were blamed on minors last year, compared to 128 in 2009, he said.
