An unbelievably
horrific crime has taken place in Austin, Texas:
Two Austin men have been charged in connection with the alleged gang rape of a 13-year-old female. Juan Lozano Ortega, 24, and Edgar Gerardo Guzman Perez, 26, have been charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.
On June 29, 2013, Ortega, Perez and an unidentified male, all riding in a white 4-door sedan, approached the teenage victim at the intersection of Payton Gin and Galewood. At some point, the victim got into the car with the men and drove with them to the Avalon Palms Apartment complex at 9300 Northgate Blvd, according to arrest affidavits.
The victim entered the apartment, noticing 7-10 other men inside, before being escorted to one of the bedrooms where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by Perez, according to APD. The victim witnessed the other men recording her via cell phone and cheering.
According to APD, over the course of the night, all of the men in the apartment took turns having sex with the victim against her will.
Once she was released, the victim immediately sought help. Hats off to the Austin police in moving so quickly to identify her attackers. Let's hope the remaining suspects are identified as soon as possible.
