How is it sensationalism to report alleged crime? Oh, and BTW, CNN was far from the only news agency to report this.
EDIT: Those who say children of this age cannot comprehend sexuality are unfamiliar with the sexually abused child.

Saw that this morning.
It is TOTAL sensationalism. CNN has sold out their scruples for news reporting a long time ago.
How would boys that age even know what a sexual act like that is unless they are watching porn or something on the internet?!!
I think the parents need some pychiatric help first.
I really hate to state this, but I think the girl is making it up for attention. I hope I'm wrong.

Boys cannot even COMPREHEND sexuality at that age. There's no way that could have really happened. This isn't the first time that major news corporations have jumped on something that turned out to be completely misinterpretted.
Sensationalism.

Anybody who says someone is making up sexual assaults or rapes should probably be shot.
you people say it cant happen, that boys this age dont think this way, that is just plain ignorance. yes the general population of 9 yr old boys doesnt do this type of stuff, but it can happen.
