Five arrested in sexual assault on teenage girls

Five suspects, including four teens, were arrested Sunday after two teen-age girls reported they were sexually assaulted Friday night.

The girls, ages 14 and 15, told investigators they were walking home in the 1400 block of East Brockton Avenue at about 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 29, when several male subjects invited them into a home.

The girls began drinking with several males in the home. After some time, the girls said they began to feel dizzy. They reported they were then sexually assaulted.

Afterward, two of the teen boys walked the girls home, where the girls said they again sexually assaulted them before the boys were scared off when the father returned home.

The girls reported the assault Sunday morning. Police went to the Brockton Avenue home and arrested four juveniles and an adult, 21-year-old Alex John Hughes.

Two of the teens – ages 17 and 15 -- were charged with unlawful sexual intercourse and transported to Juvenile Hall. One teen, age 16, was charged with unlawful sexual penetration and oral copulation. The fourth teen was released without charge, pending further investigation.

Hughes was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for furnishing the alcohol.

Police are continuing their investigation and more charges may be filed.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detectives Alesia Castaneda or Mike Reiss at (909) 798-7659 or Redlands Police Dispatch at (909) 798-7681.
