A 5-year-old boy was reportedly sexually assaulted by a 6-year-old male classmate at a Los Angeles-area school recently. On another campus, a 6-year-old girl was allegedly sexually abused by a 10-year-old classmate after he grabbed her hair and pulled her into a school bathroom. At a conference Wednesday on the Westside, these and other cases were described as part of a troubling trend of sexually aggressive behavior among students.
