The Sweet Home Police Department took a 16-year-old male into custody on charges of first-degree rape and fourth-degree assault on Sept. 29.
Police received the report on Sept. 14.
A 16-year-old female “reported that a male subject had forced her to do sexual activity,” said Police Chief Jeff Lynn. The male suspect was an acquaintance of the victim.
The two were “hanging out at a home, unsupervised for a period of time, when the alleged incident took place,” Lynn said.
The name of the male was unavailable from the Linn County Juvenile Department before press time.
