Police in Charlotte, North Carolina, said they observed a 210% increase in sexual assaults involving children during the time period that most schools were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a news release said Thursday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said that the Crimes Against Children Unit had observed small changes in cases from year to year, but they were alarmed at the surge in child sexual assault cases that occurred since 2020, the statement said.
Since 2020, detectives noted an increase from 10 sexual assaults involving children to 31 cases reported in 2021.
“It is important to understand these cases are not random sex assaults,” the statement said. “Tragically, the vast majority of these cases involve family members or someone known to them.”
