TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Six juvenile detention center employees were fired and five others disciplined after police said a mentally retarded boy was raped by a sex offender who was allegedly assigned to bathe and change his diaper.
Tallahassee police have charged Lee Donton, 17, with two counts of sexually assaulting the disabled boy, who has a 32 IQ and was 15 at the time.
Guards at the Leon County juvenile detention facility denied they told youths detained there to care for the boy, but more than a dozen stated that Donton bathed the disabled boy and seven said other detainees were also told to care for the boy, authorities said.
