UPDATE, June 6, 6pm:
Aliyah Konton, the 15-year-old Mashpee girl who was the subject of an intensive search, has been located and returned home.
Konton was reporting missing Sunday.
Mashpee police chief Scott Carline posted a statement on social media, which said, in part, “Although juvenile laws prevented me from releasing information that was privy to this investigation, we were confident this would lead to a successful resolution, which it did. I also thank the Mashpee community for the tips, concern, and support throughout this investigation.”
Meanwhile, a 13-year-old girl accused of assaulting Konton at Mashpee High School in May has been charged in Juvenile Court. She faces seven counts of assault and battery.
Mashpee police have not formally linked the two incidents.
The Mashpee police department says charges against the girl, whose name was withheld because of her age, were filed in Juvenile Court in Falmouth after a thorough investigation.
