CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Police in Cedar rapids are investigating a sexual assault of a 3-year-old boy that was reported over the weekend.
Officers were called to St. Luke’s Hospital around 6:45 p.m. Saturday, where they spoke to the boy’s mother. The alleged incident happened earlier in the day Saturday at a residence in the 3100 block of Sixth Street SW, police said. Sgt.

Hamblin said the boy would be interviewed by a therapist with the St. Luke’s Child Protection Center, while police observe.
