Reports reveal that a 14-year-old boy has been accused of luring his 10-year-old cousin into the woods, sexually assaulting her, and then taking her life.
Carson Peters Berger is facing charges for the tragic incident involving his cousin, Lily Peters, in northwestern Wisconsin, USA. A criminal complaint released on Friday, May 6 detailed the horrific chain of events.
He has been charged in adult court with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree sexual assault, and first-degree sexual assault of a child under age 13. The disappearance of Peters in the town of Chippewa Falls led to an extensive search by the authorities.
The presiding Judge Benjamin Lane initially kept the criminal complaint sealed but later decided to release a redacted version in response to media requests during a court hearing on Thursday.
The complaint revealed shocking details, including the boy’s return to the crime scene to better conceal the girl’s body by covering it with leaves.
According to the complaint, Lily was reported missing on the evening of April 24 when she didn’t return from visiting her aunt’s house in Chippewa Falls. Her body was discovered by the police the following morning.
Peters-Berger confessed to the police that while riding his hoverboard alongside Lily on a trail, he had intended to assault and murder her, as per the complaint.
He lured Lily off the trail into the woods, where the assault took place. The complaint further details that Peter got scared and left, only to return later to conceal Lily’s body with leaves.
Peters-Berger is currently in custody on a $1 million bail. While he is being treated as an adult in the criminal justice system, his attorneys could request to have the case moved to juvenile court. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 24.
In another disturbing revelation, it has come to light that the boy is the son of Adam Berger, a 37-year-old convicted pedophile who served three years in prison after being found with a collection of pornographic images of young girls on his phone.
According to the DailyMail, the photos depicted very young girls in explicit poses. Similarly, 10-year-old Lily, like her cousin, came from a broken home and lived with her father, Alex, who has multiple convictions for drug and alcohol offenses, including several DUI crimes.
Berger’s son, Carson Peters-Berger, 14, is now facing a potential life sentence.
