The 5-year-old Idaho girl who was sexually assaulted by migrant boys from Sudan and Iraq has become a “prisoner in her own house” since the crime was allegedly committed more than three weeks ago, says a close friend of the family.

That’s because one suspect’s family who was evicted from the apartment complex has still not moved out.

The families of the three boys involved – two from Sudan ages 10 and 14 and a third from Iraq age 7 – were all evicted from the Fawnbrook Apartments in Twin Falls last week following publicity about the sexual assault, which occurred June 2 in a laundry room at the complex. The Sudanese families immediately left the complex but the Iraqis still reside there, right next door to the victim.

Twin Falls Mayor Shawn Barigar made a statement at the start of Monday night’s city council meeting calling for calm in the community and asking residents to focus on facts and not “emotion.” He also blasted Internet news sites for spreading a “narrative” of which he didn’t approve, apparently because it was not released by his own police department.

The oldest boy, 14, was standing outside the laundry room filming the assault on the girl inside and appeared to be coaching the younger boys, said Payne, who put a stop to the assault and called police.

The mayor blasted unnamed reporters on the “World Wide Web.”

Julie Ruf, a resident of Twin Falls and friend of the family of the little girl who was assaulted, told WND the mayor’s statement sounded like it could have been written by someone in the Obama administration.
