FREDERICK, MD (AP) – Authorities in Maryland have charged two teens with kidnapping and raping a classmate. Police say a third suspect remains at large.
The Frederick News-Post reported Wednesday evening that police say a younger female acquaintance of the victim may have convinced the suspects to act.
Police said the victim was grabbed by three young men while walking home. She said two were classmates who allegedly told her they were acting on orders from the younger female acquaintance. The girl told police she was taken to an apartment and sexually assaulted.
Authorities in Fredrick have charged 17-year-old Edgar Natanal Chicas-Hernandez and 19-year-old Victor Antonio Gonzalez-Guttierres. Police did not identify the third suspect but said they anticipate additional charges.
Court documents do not identify the young female acquaintance. She repeatedly denied involvement.
