A 12-year-old girl swimming in the ocean off Atlantic City, New Jersey claims a man groped her in the water and police are now searching for the suspect.

The girl told police she was swimming with a friend at the Annapolis Avenue beach on July 11th around 4 p.m. when she said a man swam underwater and touched her inappropriately more than once.

The girl and her friend immediately got out of the ocean and reported the incident to a parent and lifeguard and police were called, but the man had walked away.

Several witnesses at the beach said the incident was unlikely an accident as the stretch of beach was not crowded at the time.

Children played at a Delaware playground again Thursday evening despite a troubling discovery earlier in the day right on top of a slide.

Thursday morning, Wilmington Police blocked off the playground equipment at Canby Park off S Union Street after the discovery of a woman’s body. Wilmington Police called the death “suspicious.”

• Manatee Spotted in Delaware, Officials Warn

Neighbors said some of the dead woman’s clothing was pulled down around her ankles and that earlier Wednesday night she was seen sitting with a man on a bench across the park. Investigators didn’t immediately reveal exact details of the body’s condition nor did they identify the victim. An autopsy would be needed to determine a cause of death.

People in the area of the park – a row of homes sits close by – searched answers.

• Crime Spree at South Jersey Walmart

“I’m surprised, we haven’t had an incident happen here – especially here in the park,” said neighbor Kevin Barry.

Fire crews washed down the slide and scrubbed the park before reopening it.

A man charged with burning a Confederate battle flag he saw on another person's vehicle has been jailed on charges including reckless burning.

The York Dispatch reports Hanover police charged 48-year-old Mathew Becker on Thursday after surveillance video showed him burning the flag on July 17.

• Manatee Spotted in Delaware, Officials Warn

Police say that happened while the vehicle the flag was mounted on was parked at a convenience store about 5:30 a.m.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Becker, who, police say, acknowledged what he did.

• Crime Spree at South Jersey Walmart

The flag has become a point of debate since a white man who took pictures of himself with the banner fatally shot 9 black people at a South Carolina church last month.

Becker, who is white, faces a preliminary hearing on Aug. 25.
