Yeah they can...Not as easily as an adult or teenager but they can....It's a pretty basic thing honestly.

Mine was a neighbor though even at age 7 or 8 no sex due to being scared of STDs...Though she DID ask me to do that at one point...
Point being kids are both smarter and more precocious then people think.
I'd honestly think it had to be the boys parents that caught this act and are trying to have these charges pressed.
It's a normal part of psychosexual development for kids to explore each others' bodies.
We don't really know what happened in the OP's story. Could've been harmless exploration that garnered a massive overreaction, or it could've been something that actually qualifies as rape.
The media doesn't have the full story and I highly doubt police are going to charge a kid with rape for playing doctor.While details of the alleged incident remain unclear, the girl was arrested last week and locked up in a juvenile justice complex for four days.
Sometimes kids can be complete psychopaths.
And prior to puberty some girls are pretty fucking big for their age. It's not until after puberty that boys start bulking out.
So could I picture a 10 year old girl raping a boy? Yes. I really could. There's no doubt in my mind that something like that can happen.
At the age of 10: Anti-social behavior can occur in children with inherent psychopathic tendencies.
At the age of 10: Girls are greater than or equal to boys of the same age in both physical size and brute.
Not necessarily....Lets face facts people are getting crazier and crazier need I remind you of the imaginary gun/grenade cases or the bubble gun expulsions?
People are honestly losing their marbles and suffer INCREDIBLY high grade paranoia....I even once read about a 6-8 year old boy being brought up on charges like these by the girls mother....Things are REALLY getting out of hand.
I'd be wondering how it does...Also off and on branded a rape apologist or victim blamer LOL.

LOL this thread combined with exhaustion and avengers actually had me come up with a thought along these lines...Not gonna say it I'm thinkung if I ever become an author I'm gonna use it.

Please do NOT spread this lie...Rape can have many causes even if power/control is the most common that doesn't make it the only one.
It depends and is a choice by the parents...I turned mine down when I wss in school due to having already memorized most biological facets of sex including but not limited to understanding the difference between a zygote, an unfertilized egg(been years so can't remember the term for this) and a zygote after reaching the womb...I saw what they taught there as superfluous knowledge...Looking back I wonder if I could have gotten some after from the school skank(I have met the girl who did that and was there at the same time as me just this year yes she is a skank with 4 kids who have been taken away and a total addiction to unprotected sex I think the term fits).

Oh I'm not denying it might be rape... Though even then questions HAVE to be asked such was this just more advanced then usual doctor play or something more.and I merely mean if you say that power is the only reason for rape it will be MUCH harder to combat...Understabding the reason something happens even if just one in trillion cases is still a good way to help prevent it and counter even a few scenarios.
Not I am not denying power being the more common one...Just worry about insta demonizing which can help prevent recovery when possible.
There is literally nothing we can read further about this, like - the only things we know as a fact are;
The mother of the girl accused of the "rape" refuses to confirm or deny what took place - according to the article.
And that the case must of had evidence for the girl to be arrested - as there was a delay between the report and arrest, and she spent four (?) days in "custody".

But i'm struggling to convince myself a 10/11 year old could commit rape intentionally, ignorance is not a valid defense - but i wouldn't judge the girl until full details come into light.
It reminds me of the Bulger case - That was pretty haunting, they also had an element of sexual assault mixed into the murder (Which i won't go into, but the details are out there)
What? A 10 year old girl and a 4 year old boy? I don't think that "rape" is even possible in this case.
There are so little details in this article that it is hard to form an unbiased opinion.
How does a 10 year old girl even go about raping a four year old? Are they even capable of penetration?
Because rape is only penetration... (P.S Rape, is a terrible term in my opinion - go for the various scales of sexual assault imo)
The girl could of anally sodomized him or the like, or possibly but improbable gave the 4yr old an erection... I'm not even sure if that's possible though.
