MONROEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A Monroe County grand jury has indicted three young men on charges of rape and sodomy involving two 14-year-old girls last month.
The Mobile Register reports District Attorney Tommy Chapman says one of the girls helped arrange the encounter, but no charges will be filed against her.
Chapman says he doesn’t think the girl realized there would be a gang attack on her friend, who underwent surgery for her injuries.
Chapman says 20-year-old Steven Scott of North Semmes and 16-year-old DeShon Riley and 17-year-old Justin Williams, both of Monroeville, were indicted on charges of forcible rape and sodomy.
Scott and Williams also were indicted on statutory rape and sodomy counts in connection with the girl who arranged the meeting.
Investigators say the rapes occurred Nov. 16.
