The incident happened last Thursday at around 6:30 p.m. at 54th Street and 39th Drive. The girl was sitting on the bench in a playground when police say the suspect sodomized her. Authorities say the girl's cousin, just a year or so older than her, began screaming for help. His screams allegedly scared off the suspect.
The suspect was reportedly wearing a backpack with black and gray stripes and sneakers with green trim.
