The incident allegedly occurred in the parking lot of the Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club across from Michigan Stadium. “Childs and the 13-year-old male did not know the victim prior to this incident, and this was a random attack,” according to the report

In my 24 years here, we’ve never had an incident of this nature with this type of violence in a public space at any U of M sporting event, so this is very concerning,” Theil said.
Childs, whose cash bond was set at $75,000, is reportedly being held at Washtenaw County Jail. The younger defendant, however, is reportedly being held at the Washtenaw County Juvenile Detention Center and was charged with first-degree sexual conduct with the intention to commit physical harm to the victim.
