A 17-year-old boy from Quadeville, Ontario, has been charged with attempted murder and sexual assault following an attack on an eight-year-old girl. Initially, Ontario police suspected the child had been attacked by an animal, but subsequent testing found no traces of animal DNA, leading to the charges against the teenager. The accused appeared in a Pembroke courtroom for a brief hearing, with his bail hearing adjourned to August 21. Due to a publication ban, the identity of the accused has not been released. The case has drawn attention as authorities clarified the circumstances surrounding the incident.
