The sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl reported Sunday to authorities in Anne Arundel County is unfounded, police said Friday.
The reported sexual assault allegedly occurred on Feb. 14 after the girl left her Pasadena elementary school, according to a statement released Tuesday from Anne Arundel County Police.
It had been reported that shortly after 3 p.m. the girl was heading home from Lake Shore Elementary by walking through the Riding Woods neighborhood when a man "grabbed her and pulled her into a wooded area," according to the statement.
Additional officers had been assigned to patrol the area, police said, after the reported assault.
