Prosecutors say an investigation began when the victim's mother reported the assault to police. The investigation found Luis Morales-Sarmiento, who is acquainted with the teen, invited him to the couple's home and then assaulted him in the bedroom.

They've both been released after appearing in court Tuesday.
