CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- A Department of Children’s Services worker is accused of not reporting a sexual assault allegation to police.

Clarksville DCS worker Althea Bradshaw is charged with failing to report the alleged sexual abuse of a child.

Officers said that in September 2007, a 5-year-old girl told Bradshaw that she had been sexually abused.

Police said Bradshaw apparently never told police or DCS about the matter.
