Four Teens Arrested For Raping 11, 13 Year-Olds

A Staten Island man arrived at his Clifton home to find four teen boys having sex with his 11-year-old stepdaughter and her 13-year-old friend. The stepfather called the police upon finding the naked teens. The boys, ages 16 to 18, were charged with first- and third-degree rape, first-degree criminal sexual act and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

The girls had signs of vaginal tearing and the Staten Island Advance reported, "The younger girl alleges they held her down while they took turns having sex with her." The 13-year-old victim had originally agreed to have sex with the 16-year-old, Patrick Gross, but cops say she "changed her mind and Gross continued anyway" (police also say they had sexual relations before). Gross was also charged with raping the 13-year-old.

One of the suspects' cousins told the Daily News, "He goes to high school. He doesn't have any trouble. We don't know what happened. All I know is that he's been arrested."

He goes to high school? No shit.
And apparently, he's got plenty of trouble.

 

first thing first, whats wrong with one of the girls having a relationship with a much older guy. and then those guys should be raped in jail.

young girls and guys shouldn't be in any relationships not mature enough to handle any of it.

 

How can you expect young kids not to act out sexually when our society plasters it everywhere for profit? You people buy into the images and then expect your kids to never act out sexually. Then you punish them like adults. If you ask me the society is responsible for kids early experimentation. Not the other way around.

 

Kind of reminds me of the premise to that porn movie "My Daughter's F*cking Blackzilla."

 

"You people"?

 

johnie that's hilarious

 

what area is this?
"Gross and his friends -- Danny Davis, 17, of Birch Road in Arlington, Leelah Pewu, 17, of Bowen Street in Clifton, and Nicky Toe, 18, of the 100-block of Park Hill Avenue -- then took turns having sex with the 11-year-old in the same room, according to cops."
they were lucky the father wasn't armed.

 

It's always an "easy out" to point the finger at society. The parents should be the ones bring up their children. Hold the parents responsible for their children’s actions. Not the public.

 

An 11 year old cannot give consent. Apparently, lots of folks on Staten Island feel otherwise.

 

Very dumb comment Bubba. I would say that 99 percent of people on Staten Island are outraged.

 

How fashionable to make fun of Staten Island. From someone named "Bubba" no less.

 

You people buy into the images and then expect your kids to never act out sexually. Then you punish them like adults.

I agree on this one. I especially hate it when I see adults encouraging 3, 4, 5 year old boys and girls to kiss each other.
