Four teenagers in Florida have admitted
to raping a 13-year-old boy and will be charged as adults, CNN
reported.
The four teens were charged Wednesday
on four counts of sexual battery.
CNN named the four underage defendants
because they are being charged as adults, but the oldest is 15.
The teens took turns raping their
flag-football teammate multiple times over several months with a
broomstick and hockey stick inside the boys locker room at Walker
Middle School in Tampa, Florida, Hillsborough County prosecutors
allege.
“The victim screamed and cried,
telling them to stop,” Prosecutor Kimberly Hindman told the court.
Defendants admitted to the crime when
confronted by school officials who had opened an investigation after
a fight began on the football field between the victim and
defendants.
The judge set the defendants free on
$15,000 bail. The four face up to 120 years in jail.
