Police Arrest Teen After Alleged Sex Assault At Dixon High School

DIXON (CBS13) - A teenager has been arrested after an alleged sexual assault at Dixon High School.

Dixon Police say they were notified of on Monday about a possible sexual assault that happened at Dixon High during school hours. Both police and the Dixon Unified School District immediately began an investigation.

Tuesday, officers arrested a 16-year-old boy. He was booked at Solano County Juvenile Hall and is facing a charge of rape.

Investigators say they believe the alleged assault was an isolated incident and there isn't a threat to students.

Brian Dolan, Dixon Unified's superintendent, posted a statement to the district's Facebook page on Wednesday, writing: "school staff and the police are working together to ensure that there are no additional incidents to be concerned about and that there is no danger to any other individuals on campus."

Dolan also writes, "I want to remind everyone that at the center of this incident are two of our community's young people and their families and friends. Their lives are changed forever regardless of the outcome of the investigation and any follow-up legal proceedings that may occur. Please consider how you would want this situation to be discussed or commented upon if it involved a teenager that you loved and cared about and act accordingly."
