WA teen charged over indecent assaults

A teenage boy allegedly indecently assaulted two women by slapping their bottoms and grabbed the breast of a third woman in Perth's south.

A 14-year-old boy has been charged after three women were allegedly separately attacked by having their buttocks slapped and breasts grabbed in Perth's south.

The first assault against a woman in her 40s allegedly happened on Thursday in Rockingham, with the teenager slapping her on the buttocks as he rode past her on a bicycle.

On Good Friday, a woman in her 60s was also allegedly slapped on the bottom, and later that day a woman in her 30s pushing a pram had her breast grabbed by the teenager.

The teenager has been charged with four counts of indecent assault and is due to appear in Rockingham Children's Court on May 17.
