Suspects arraigned in alleged gang rape of teen: As many as 10 believed involved in attack outside homecoming dance
Police believe as many as 10 people ranging in age from 15 to mid-20s attacked the girl for more than two hours in a dimly lit area. As many as two dozen people witnessed the rape without notifying police....

Reports have indicated onlookers laughed and joked during the attack. Police would not comment on rumors the episode had been recorded on cell phones.

The girl is only 15 years old. Police found her semi-conscious after a former student heard two males bragging about the rape. I hope the girl will be okay and get the counseling she will need. This is going to change her life forever. I hope they get the rapists and the bystanders, too. Surely it is also a crime to stand by and do nothing? If they were joking and laughing, then it sounds like they were complicit accessories.

So sad.
