NEWARK, Ohio – A 15-year-old central Ohio boy has been charged with sexually assaulting six girls at a variety of places during the last two years.

The teen arrested Friday is charged with 11 juvenile delinquency counts, including rape and kidnapping, involving girls now 14 to 16 years old.

The Licking County Juvenile Court complaint says the boy lives in Pataskala and that the assaults occurred from April 2008 through late May 2010, at sites including his home, a school bus and a park.

The teen’s attorney on Tuesday entered pleas of denial – the juvenile equivalent of not guilty – to all counts.

The charges include three rape, four kidnapping, two attempted rape and two sexual imposition counts.

Pataskala is 17 miles east of Columbus.
