A court official in the U.S. says a 13-year-old boy charged with raping a 5-year-old girl at a McDonald's play area is denying the accusation.
Chief Magistrate Carla Guenthner of Hamilton County Juvenile Court says the boy denied the charge at a hearing Saturday. The boy is in juvenile detention awaiting a Nov. 22 trial.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Barnett says the alleged assault occurred Oct. 29. Barnett says the girl's grandmother was in the restaurant at the time.
The McDonald's owner says in a statement that he was upset to learn of the alleged rape and is cooperating with investigators.
The boy's parents brought him to authorities last week after a security camera photo of the suspect was released.
