ANDERSON, Ind. -- Authorities Wednesday were holding two teens accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl with kitchen utensils in her Anderson home.
Corey A. Craig, 19, and a 15-year-old boy are suspected of assaulting the girl while they were baby-sitting her, police said. The younger teen's name was not released.
The girl's mother on Monday took her to St. John's Medical Center, where she was treated for severe vaginal injuries, police said.
"The girl required emergency surgery to repair the injuries that had occurred," Anderson police Detective Terry Sollars told RTV6's Jennifer Carmack.
Someone at the hospital called authorities because doctors suspected sexual assault, Carmack reported.
Police said Craig and the other teen threatened to hurt the girl if she told anyone about the alleged assault.
"It's one of the most disturbing cases I've seen in 22 years," Sollars said.
Craig faces felony charges of child molestation, intimidation and criminal confinement. The other teen's case was being handled in the juvenile court system.
The girl and her 4-year-old sister were removed from their home pending the outcome of the investigation, Carmack reported.
The suspects are not related to the girl, police said.
