4 Teens Charged in Alleged Gang Rape
Four high school students in Chino have been charged with sexual assault in the alleged gang rape of two 15-year-old girls at an afternoon “ditch” party last week, officials said Tuesday.
Antoni James and Jorge Gonzalez, both 18, and David Sanchez and Luis Munoz, both 17, of Chino were charged Monday, said San Bernardino County Deputy Dist. Atty. Jeremy Carrasco.
About a dozen people, mostly Chino High School students, skipped school and drank alcohol at a local home Thursday, according to Chino police.
The alleged victims were intoxicated and probably unconscious during the incident, Carrasco said.
The suspects were charged with rape in concert with others and penetration by a foreign object in concert with others, Carrasco said.
If convicted, they will face up to 19 years in prison.
They were arraigned Tuesday and in custody at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga in lieu of $350,000 bail each.
