A Delaware County teen accused of luring a 14-year-old girl into his home and sexually assaulting her has told police he refuses to turn himself in, saying they need to 'come and get' him.
Darby Police are on the hunt for 18-year-old Kassim Hill for the assault authorities said took place on Wednesday afternoon inside his home along the 200 block of N. 9th Street.
"She screamed and ran to me, crying, and I just held her," the girl's aunt told NBC10 Thursday night. She spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear the suspect would come back to harm her.
The victim's family tells NBC10 the girl was about to stop at a friend's house on her way home from school when Hill, who is on probation, yelled down to her. He said the friend was in his house, a few doors down, and told her to come over, according to the family.
Once inside, Hill forced himself on the girl, police and the family said.
"When she got in, he trapped her in there and held her down, forced himself on her," the aunt said. "The rest of it was too traumatizing."
The assault was interrupted by a knock on Hill's door, however. When he answered, the person heard the girl's screams and called 911, police said.

Then, Thursday night, police said Hill called Darby Police station's main number and asked to be transferred to the detective working the case. He said he would not turn himself in and to 'come and get me,' according to police.
Authorities believe Hill is somewhere in West Philadelphia and they are now searching for him. He is described as 6-foot-2-feet tall, 150 lbs. and has black hair and brown eyes.
"Turn yourself in. What you did was horrific, you need to face justice," the aunt said.
