I guess they arrested 5 people so far. I hope they get every single person involved and to be honest, I wouldn't be opposed to life in prison or execution for any of them.

Richmond, California (CNN) -- Police investigating the rape of a 15-year-old girl have arrested five people, a police spokesman said Wednesday.

Three juveniles and two adults are in custody in connection with the rape Saturday, said the Richmond police spokesman, Lt. Mark Gagan.
Authorities have described the incident as a 2½-hour assault on the Richmond High School campus.

Gagan said police arrested three of the suspects Tuesday night. They included Salvador Rodriguez, 21, as well as a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old whose identities were not released because they are juveniles, he said.

Rodriguez faces numerous felony charges, including gang rape, he said. It was not immediately clear what charges the other two face.

A 19-year-old, Manuel Ortega, and an unidentified 15-year-old were arrested earlier, he said. They are expected to be arraigned Wednesday, and the others are expected to be arraigned later this week.

Gagan said the suspects are likely to face "several felonies" in connection with the incident.

Earlier this week, police said Ortega -- who has been described as a former student at the school -- faced charges of rape, robbery and kidnapping, while the 15-year-old faced one felony count of sexual assault.

Gagan said Wednesday that police expect to make further arrests.

As many as 10 people were involved in the assault in a dimly lighted back alley at the school, police have said, while another 10 people watched without calling 911 to report it.

A 1999 California law makes it illegal not to report a witnessed crime against a child, but the law applies only to cases in which the child is 14 or younger.

Police have posted a $20,000 reward for anyone who comes to them with information that helps arrest and convict those involved in the attack.
"We do not have the ability to arrest people who witnessed the crime and did nothing," Gagan said. "The law can be very rigid. We don't have the authority to make an arrest."

The school said it would hold a safety meeting for parents and students Wednesday evening to address the alleged assault.

The attack occurred on school grounds as the annual homecoming dance was under way inside the school Saturday night, authorities said.

The victim was found unconscious and "brutally assaulted" under a bench shortly before midnight Saturday, after police received a call from someone in the area who had overheard people at the assault scene talking about the incident, police said.

The girl was flown by helicopter to a hospital, where she was admitted in critical condition. She was in stable condition Tuesday, police said. Investigators canvassed the community with fliers, which included the reward offer, hoping to identify more suspects.

Richmond is north of Oakland on San Francisco Bay.

The people who did this are not human and do not deserve anything less than the maximum possible sentence. All involved; attackers, rapers and bystanders should be punished.

Stuff like this shocks me and to be honest it scares me on some level. I don't really know why and I don't think its the crime itself but more so the extent.

2-1/2 hours? I mean, there are bad people out there who do some really terrible things but 2-1/2 hours of rape and abuse from a dozen-plus people is beyond comprehension.

I really wish I were in the position to front a ton of money to up that reward from 20K.

Again, sorry if this has been discussed but I didn't see it and thought it would be on the front page.

that's seriously ****ed up

yeah, 2 1/2 hours??

that's a hell of a long time for even regular sex, which isn't even continuous for 2 1/2 hours

Pretty terrible story, horrible crimes like this happen way more often than we actually hear about them.

That girls probably gonna need a lot of therapy.

The people who did this are not human and do not deserve anything less than the maximum possible sentence. All involved; attackers, rapers and bystanders should be punished.

I hate this saying, it's completely false. The people who did this ARE human as rape and random brutality are a VERY human trait.

The rapers should be executed. I'd prefer not paying for them to be in jail for 40+ years.

While true, nobody is ever referring to all of our wonderful shortcomings when they say something has "human" characteristics.

You don't see a couple of dogs fighting and think "my, what a very human-like trait those creatures are exhibiting".

I'll concede it is a very selective means of categorization in that "human" elements are generally comprised of upstanding and honorable traits that are supposedly the defining factor between man and beast. Biased but it is what it is.

Basically what we are talking about here is the ability to empathize. More than any other, that's basically what it comes down to.

Humans can, animals can't. Animals can respond with emotion to visual cues but they cannot extend their emotions beyond their own being. When a dog gets upset because it's owner is upset the dog isn't feeling what the owner is feeling. The dog is simply responding to the owner's present state, not the cause of that state.

Empathy is where that group of scum fails to qualify as human. 2-1/2 hours is far too long for any person to claim that they were simply overcome with emotion, frenzy or caught up in the moment.

Witnesses to gang rapes who fail to report it have been convicted before... there was an excellent movie that documented one such instance, "The Accused", starring Jodie Foster as the victim and Kelly McGillis as the prosecutor... it features a stark, disturbing (but not really graphic) reenactment of the gang rape of the girl toward the end of the movie...

You're right, anybody who could witness such a thing and not report it immediately is subhuman...

this.

im serious

 

[Doomsday]

Absolutely Disgusting. I hope the people who did this end up getting theres in prison.

 

[CliffnDallas]

The things who did this simply need to be taken out in a field, knelt down and shot in the head.

It is not uncommon for bystanders to watch and do nothing in various heinous crimes. Why? because they falsely assume someone else will go get help, among other reasons.

this is why, as a victim, if you are able to, you should ask for help from a specific bystander rather than hope someone will go get help.

 

[YosemiteSam]

This is why public hangings should still exist.

CNN.com has article about the bystander effect right now. Pretty good.

I'm glad i don't have girls, i'd never be able to let them out of my sight. So damn sad she has to live with this horror the rest of her life. She'll probably never be able to enjoy anything normal again. In these kinds of criminal cases i'm all for some sort of expedited capital punishment. Do we really need to house these guys and spend hundreds of thousands while they either sit for life or wait 20 years to get the chair? Just put these guys on the fast track and by the end of 1 year have them gone.

The concepts (or acts) of sex and rape should never be even remotely placed in the same context.

And this.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Disgusting.

It's bad enough that there are fools out there who are raping a person like this. That is bad enough as it is.

But to read that as many as 10 people stood around, witnessed it, and did nothing makes me even more sick. What kind of friggen loser do you have to be to witness something like that and simply do nothing?

That's one of the most pathetic things I've seen from people.

'cept I wasn't doing that

I was just putting it into perspective

100% agree. Don't know if you were being serious, but I think that punishment fits this nasty crime, and even moreso would be appropriate.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

It amazes me that anybody can report you for spanking a child or even making a pot of coffee in the buff, in your own kitchen, and you'll go to jail for it but 20 people can stand around and cheer a girl getting gang raped and it's like, so what.......

Just doesn't compute to me.

 

[VietCowboy]

100% agree. Don't know if you were being serious, but I think that punishment fits this nasty crime, and even moreso would be appropriate.

Hey, girls have gotten 100 canes for being convicted of "committing adultery" (i.e. she was raped).

I think these guys deserve 100 whips then get a hanging.
