On Wednesday, July 19, at about 7:21 p.m., the Grant County Regional Dispatch Authority received a call stating a 3-year-old female, who was sexually assaulted, was in the emergency room, according to a Silver City Police Department blotter entry. Caller advised that possibly the child’s cousin or uncle was the assailant. The blotter also stated that the mother was on scene at Gila Regional Medical Center, and that an officer would be following subjects to La Clinica.
In answer to the Beat’s question, SCPD Chief Ed Reynolds, on Monday, July 24, stated that the incident is under investigation, but could not say more due to the nature of the blotter account.
