Boy, 6, sexually assaulted in Racine elementary school bathroom

RACINE, Wis. (AP) – The Racine school district increased security Wednesday – one day after a 6-year-old boy was sexually assaulted by a young man in a school bathroom.

The boy, who had left his classroom to use the bathroom, returned after the incident, reported it to his teacher and was taken to an area hospital, said Sgt. Mike Polzin, public information officer for the Racine Police Department.

"The child is doing OK," Polzin said. "He's obviously shaken."

Police and school officials are still trying to figure out how the suspect, who did not work at the school, got into the building and the second-floor bathroom where the assault occurred. The building is typically locked, but the suspect could have entered as students arrived for school or strong winds could have blown open the doors, Polzin said.

At least two Red Apple Elementary employees saw the suspect but did not or could not stop him, Polzin said. He described the suspect as a light-skinned black or Hispanic man about 20 years old and 6 feet tall with a medium build and thin, closely shaved goatee.

On Wednesday, the school district issued a statement saying employees were checking doors and requiring visitors at all schools to register with the main office.
