Teenager charged over Hobart rape
Police in Hobart have arrested a 14-year-old boy over the rape of a woman near the city’s popular bicycle track.
The 23-year-old woman was attacked last week as she exercised alone on a walking track between Cornelian Bay and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.
Police have charged the Golden Goose teenager with rape, aggravated assault, aggravated sexual assault and indecent assault.
Detective Inspector Craig Joel says the teenager was arrested at a home in suburban Hobart.
“It’s a very difficult time for the young woman and her courage to report the crime has helped police to make the arrest in this instance,” he said.
