5 teens charged with rape

“Horrible is the only word to describe it.”

Five teenage boys have been charged with raping a 12-year-old girl in the dugout of a baseball field in this small Eastern Shore town.

According to charging documents, the girl told police she went to the park Feb. 9 planning to have sex with her 15-year-old boyfriend but changed her mind. She was then attacked by other youths, who had been watching the couple, the documents say. The girl told her parents about a week later.

The girl and the five suspects all live in or around Federalsburg, a town of 2,600 along the Marshyhope Creek that was once a trading center and still is a hub for rural northern Caroline County. Read more

Those young perverts should be tried as adults and given the maximum sentence under the law. The total disregard of the age of the victim and unwillingness I'm sure she protested, each perpertrator should get no less than 20 years in prison, and be registered as a child sex predators for life.

This is a small slice of the culture in America.

These kids are merely expressing themselves.

Hollywood has shepherded our youth into this type of behavior and it is only going to get worse in the future.

Imagine when these kids have kids.

These boys deserve everything they get. I have known people who got rapped before and it messed them up so much, i could see how that little girl is scared. They have basically took her childhood away and need to be punished.

Expressing themselves??? What the hell are you talking about? This is gang rape we're talking about, but your euphemism for this behavoir is self-expression?

And blaming Hollywood is completely moronic. These kids are so stupid that they don't right from wrong? i.e. gang rape = bad. They know right from wrong and made a choice.

Knock it off w/ blaming society. People commited this crime, not society, and people should be held accountable, not have their wrists slapped b/c it's actually society's fault.

The goal is to make sure that people can only express themselves through sex and violence.

I am not blaming society, I am blaming a small group of people who are in the process of taking away our freedom.

These kids out in the streets shooting each other are expressing themselves too.

Allow me to express myself that the more you talk, the dumber you sound.

There's a small group of people trying to take away our freedom? Could you be any more vague? It's your goal that people commit felonies? Huh? So we should dismiss serious crimes as self-expression?

Go grow some corn, because you really have no idea what you're talking about nor the ability to "express" what you're trying to say succinctly.

I for one am glad that this group did not shoot anybody. Are you sure that they were not "packin"?

Guns are a dime a dozen. They are not for everybody. Ammo is expensive and a lot of the kids who are not making good money cannot afford bullets.

You sound like my uncle Ralph from NJ.

Buddy, have you had your coffee yet? I don't mind when stupid idiots target each other. Of course I dont want them to shoot at innocent bystanders.
