At around 6.30pm Thursday, the brother and sister were playing by the train tracks near their home when a stranger approached the 12-year-old girl, sexually assaulted her and slashed her face, the kids' aunt and stepfather told WRIC.

孩子的阿姨和继父在接受WRIC网站采访时表示，周四傍晚6:30左右，姐弟二人正在家附近的铁轨处玩耍。突然有个陌生人来到12岁姐姐的身边，性侵了她并殴打她的脸部。
