5 years probation for a Gang Rape---Man this is fucked up! [View all]

SANFORD — A 16-year-old former Winter Springs High School football player today pleaded guilty to gang rape and was placed on probation for five years.

He is the first of five co-defendants to enter a plea or go to trial in the highly-charged case. According to prosecution records, he did the least harm to the 16-year-old girl, quickly stopping when she told him, "No."

He along with four others team members were arrested after the girl emerged from a patch of woods near the school Nov. 13, in tears, telling a friend that several high school boys had gang raped her.

The suspects told police either they had not taken part or that the sex was consensual.

The defendant who entered his plea today was one of three to be charged as juveniles and faced a maximum sentence of being confined to a juvenile facility until age 19.

Today's plea was a surprise. The teenager, who lives in Sanford, was scheduled to appear in court tomorrow, but attorneys moved his hearing up a day.

Fucked up is right. Laurian Mar 2015 #1

He is charged as a juvenile (15 at commission) and this extends supervision past juvenile Yo_Mama Mar 2015 #24

If the girl is being gang raped, does she have to tell "NO" to each attacker individually? LisaL Mar 2015 #48

I would say hold him till he's 21 or so - at the least - and monitor him closely. nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #18

She recorded part of the incident on video, telling the suspects NO. LisaL Mar 2015 #67

I am not questioning that the girl was sexually assaulted by a group of boys. She was. Yo_Mama Mar 2015 #73
