15 Year old girl, gang raped at Richmond High School

A teenage girl that attends Richmond High School in California was gang raped last Saturday night by at least 4 rapists or as much as 7. She was attending the high school's homecoming dance and stepped out around 9:30 p.m., to get a ride with her dad, who was going to take her back home. The victim was also robbed and beaten. There were at least a dozen spectators that walked by, who did nothing and some might have even joined in on the rape. According to police, some of the spectators may have actually recorded the rape with their cell phone cameras. No one bothered to call the authorities.

So far there has been 2 arrests. A student was taken out of class by police and later arrested Monday night. Manuel Ortega, 19, not a student at Richmond High, was also arrested. Both men where charged with allegedly raping the teenage girl. Police mentioned that the victim knew at least one of the students.

The school had several security guards around the area where the dance was taking place but not in the actual area where the gang rape occurred. Richmond High also has surveillance cameras around campus, but they are broken and don't work.

The teenage victim was beaten so bad that she had to be taken to the hospital by helicopter. She remains there in stable condition.

    Ho well maybe no one reported it because people thought she was enjoying it, if an orgy is taking place why should anyone bother them, I mean now days prostitutes work anywhere and police would lought at you for reporting this s---.

    It is so sad that no one bothered to call 911. Most of the spectators probably had cell phones. It should of been an instinctual thing to call for help! These kids should be put in jail for life. If they get away with this, you know they will think they can get away with it again...
