OXNARD : Girl, 13, Reports She Was Raped by 4 Men
A 13-year-old Oxnard girl found by police early Friday morning on the front porch of a house told authorities she had been kidnaped, raped by four men and left in a residential area of Oxnard, police said.
Responding to a neighbor’s call, Oxnard police found the girl lying unconscious on the front porch of a house in the 1100 block of West Cedar Street at 1:10 a.m., Oxnard police spokesman David Keith said.
The girl, whose name was not released, told police she left her house about midnight to meet a friend on Fremont Street, about a mile from where she lives, Keith said.
She told police that while waiting on Fremont Street for her friend, she was abducted at gunpoint by four men she described as being in their late teens or early 20s.
The girl said the men drove around Oxnard for about an hour before they raped her and dropped her off on Cedar Street, where police found her, Keith said.
The girl was treated at Ventura County Medical Center and released to her parents, Keith said.
She was interviewed by police detectives Friday afternoon, Keith said.
