Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the gang rape of a 7-year-old that took place on March 28th, 2010 in Trenton, New Jersey, USA Today reported. Details on the arrests are supposed to be announced via a news conference tonight out of Trenton.
Outrage erupted last week when news broke that a child's 15-year-old stepsister allegedly "sold" her to a group of males who were having a party on the 13th floor of Rowan Towers apartment complex. According to reports, Rowan Towers is known to be a high-crime area surrounded by gang activity. Police say the 15-year-old sold sex to men, then took money to let them touch the younger girl. They say touching turned to forcible sex as at least seven men raped the 7-year-old. Before today's announcement of the five arrests, the older sister had been charged with promoting prostitution, aggravated sexual assault and other crimes. She is currently being held at a juvenile detention center.
A 20-year-old man has been arrested for having sex with the 15-year-old.
UNTHINKABLE! But at least these sickos are being brought to justice...
I still have one question though: Where was the 15-year-old's mother when all this was happening??! Why were these 2 little girls just wandering around?
