In another bizarre case, a girl, 10, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year old boy during a game of "doctor".
According to KRIV-TV, Ashley was spotted playing with a bunch of kids from her housing complex in April, by a neighbour, who told the mum of the toddler that the girl was touching the child inappropriately, News.com.au reported.
Later Ashley was arrested and charged and had to spend 4 days in the Harris County Juvenile Detention Centre.
Ashley's mum, who compared the incident to a "nightmare", revealed that the Houston Police sex crimes investigator had refused her the right to sit with her daughter during a 45-minute interrogation that left her daughter in tears.
The girl will be facing the court in October on aggravated rape charges.
