Police say dozen people watched teen girl gang raped

RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) — Police believe as many as a dozen people watched a
15-year-old girl get beaten and gang-raped outside her high school homecoming
dance without reporting it.

Two suspects were in custody Monday, but
police said as many as five other men attacked the girl over a two-hour period
Friday night outside Richmond High School.

"She was raped, beaten,
robbed and dehumanized by several suspects who were obviously OK enough with it
to behave that way in each other's presence," Lt. Mark Gagan said. "What makes
it even more disturbing is the presence of others. People came by, saw what was
happening and failed to report it."

The victim remained hospitalized
with non-life-threatening injuries.
