Teen charged in Powderhorn sex assault

Delinquency petitions were fired against four male teens Tuesday, accusing them of crimes from assaults in Powderhorn Park.

Charges against the four boys include criminal-sexual assault, kidnapping and armed robbery charges, County Attorney Mike Freeman told the Star Tribune.

The boys are accused of sexually assaulting a mother and her young daughter and two teenage girls in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood, the Pioneer Press said.

Prosecutors will ask a judge to certify the four boys to stand trial as adults, Freeman said.
