Logansport pre-teen charged in assault at sleepover faces additional charges from separate bus attack

Charges are growing for one of the pre-teens accused of brutally torturing a classmate at a 'sleepover gone wrong' in Logansport at the end of Feb.

 

Officials from the Cass County Prosecutor's Office confirmed a separate assault on a school bus was caught on camera and happened the same day as the nightmare sleepover incident. 

 

Video from the bus camera shows a young girl grabbing another student by the hair and repeatedly punching the victim in the head. 

 

The same girl accused in the bus attack also faces charges from a separate attack during a sleepover that include criminal confinement resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 3 felony, intimidation with a deadly weapon, a Level 5 felony, and battery resulting in serious bodily injury, another Level 5 felony.

 

Due to the sensitive nature of the allegations and the ages of those believed to be involved, including suspects and the victim, police said they are not able to confirm specific details regarding what occurred. While police couldn’t confirm exact details of the sleepover incident, they did say it went beyond bullying.

 

Officers determined enough probable cause based on their preliminary investigation to arrest the two girls allegedly involved the day they were made aware of the incident.

 

According to those close to the victim and her family, the attack during the 'sleepover' was allegedly videoed and shared to social media. The recording showed the victim during the attack, who was held down for hours during the overnight stay. The victim received cuts to her face with a sharp object, had part of her hair shaved and was burned by a lighter. 

 

Officials are asking anyone who may have any additional information on these particular incidents to reach out to the Logansport Police Department.
