4 students arrested over gang rape of mentally disabled student

Four students have been arrested over the rape of a mentally disabled teenager, who police claim was led to a school room before becoming the victim of a brutal sex attack.

The suspects, who are aged between 15 and 18, are accused of leading the victim to a janitor's closet at their high school, North Miami Senior High, before being caught by a security guard who asked her what was going on.

Court documents say that during the attack the victim was warned to not report the rape - however she did, and police arrested the teens.

The suspects are David Lombard, 17, Derek Bynum, 18, Steven Joseph, 15, and Kenoldo Alexis, 17.

The victim was attending a job training initiative at the school before the attack, which took place in January.

Their arrests were only revealed on Thursday, when the Miami Herald released details of the case. The four suspects face a sexual battery charge, while Lombard faces an additional charge of battery. 

The case continues.
