A.B. was arrested in early June and was recently in court for two sexual assault charges. The 18-year-old from Dublin has been charged with two felonies connected to alleged incidents that happened early this year and in 2011. Two people came forward claiming that they were victims of a sex crime perpetrated by A.B. Both individuals are minors which resulted in charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least three years younger than the adult and illegal sexual penetration. State law details that it is a felony to engage in "An act of sexual penetration upon a child who is under 14 years of age, when the act is accomplished against the victim's will by means of force, violence, duress, menace or fear." (California Penal Code § 289(B).) Sexual assault charges such as rape or sex with a minor can result in severe penalties if a conviction is obtained.
