The incident occurred on the evening of Wednesday, July 26, just before 9:30 p.m., when the Yorktown Police Department received a report of inappropriate touching involving a 16-year-old victim. The department announced this information on Tuesday, August 8. Following the report, officers met with the victim’s mother to initiate an investigation into the incident.
