CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A 16-year-old boy was arrested and charged after police say he broke into a woman's home and sexually assaulted her Thursday morning.
Malik Jamon Allen was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree rape, five counts of first-degree sex offense, first-degree kidnapping and second-degree breaking and entering.
The incident happened just before 9 a.m. on the 4300 block of Browne's Ferry Road in north Charlotte.
The victim told responding officers that a male broke into her house and sexually assaulted her. He then took several items from inside the home before leaving.
