(12-14) 18:43 PST EL CERRITO -- A 14-year-old boy was charged Monday with raping a 12-year-old girl in the stairwell of an El Cerrito middle school, and the principal and vice principal have been placed on administrative leave while police and school officials investigate the alleged crime.
El Cerrito police will focus their investigation on the alleged sexual assault, while West Contra Costa Unified School District officials look into how such a crime could have occurred on the Portola Middle School campus during the school day, officials said.
The boy allegedly raped the girl about 2:40 p.m. Thursday in a stairwell at the school at 1021 Navellier St., police Cmdr. Michael Regan said.
The stairwell was empty because class was in session, he said. The two students, who apparently know each other, had passes or reasons not to be in class, he said. He declined to discuss other details of the alleged assault.

Back in October, a 15-year-old girl was raped outside the Richmond High School homecoming dance, and four suspects (ages 16-20) are awaiting sentencing to life imprisonment without parole.
