Police investigating alleged sexual assault of a teen student in a restroom near softball fields behind a Murray school

Police are investigating a report of a sexual assault of a teen which allegedly occurred a week ago in a restroom near a Murray softball field behind Riverview Junior High.

Murray police spokesman Officer Kenny Bass confirmed Wednesday that the department was investigating a report of such an incident, but because it was still “early” in the investigation, details were slim.

A public post on Taylorsville Fast-pitch Softball’s Facebook page says that the assault occurred April 25 “sometime after the Murray High School softball game.”

Wright said no one was told about the alleged assault on the night of the game and that the alleged victim — a female teen student in the district — reported the assault to a trusted teacher at school the day after it occurred.
