SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE CLOSES KIDS QUEST

The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe have closed the Kids Quest child care centers in the wake of news that a 3-year old boy may have been sexually assaulted at the site at Grand Casino Mille Lacs. The alleged attack happened on Wednesday, January 23rd. The suspect is a boy between 8 and 10. Mille Lacs County Prosecutor Jan Kolb said she has not reviewed the case for possible charges yet. She said Minnesota law doesn't allow for sexual assault charges for alleged attackers under 10 years old. New Horizon Academy runs the day care centers. The company filed a written statement saying that it regretted employees had failed to follow procedures to keep children safe.
