It was a crime shocking not only in its brutality but in its callousness, Richmond police say.
A 15-year-old girl leaving early from the homecoming dance at Richmond High School was enticed into a darkened alley just off campus to hang out with as many as a dozen young men who were drinking.

What EVERY girl must remember:
Alcohol + strange men = DANGER
From the last of the article: “...”We’ll redouble our efforts to ensure that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”
What a bunch of bull-Obama. Nothing will happen except words. School officials are liberals, and as such, have no balls, brains, morals, or ability to change.
If something like this happened to one of my daughters, there would be a few less guys in the world afterward.
Of course, I would hope she would never join a group of guys for drinking in an alley.... Just damn.....
WHAT is a 15 yr old girl doing late at night at a Homecoming Dance without a parent to pick her up? And why would she be at a dance that allows her to be in the company of older students and no teacher chaperones?
Her family should sue the school for allowing it..no, her parents should be in jail. Uh, guess I’m just upset.
If convicted, all should be de-nuted and spend the rest of their lives being Bubba’s bitch in prison.
Wow, I even guessed it. What other kind of guys hang around in alleys drinking?
That’s the town I escaped from back in 1976 to join the Navy. And it was a cesspool then. It obviously has not gotten any better.
DANGER is right and it could have been only one drink that was spiked with something.
Doesn’t matter, a 15 year old should be safe walking the streets of America at any hour an in any condition.
I agree with you, but still, young girls were not walking around late at night alone even 30 years ago.
She was outside the school dance and went into a dark alley away from the gym where the dance was. what is the school supposed to do? Have security follow everyone who leaves the dance and escort them home?
The girl didn’t deserve what happened to her, but how is it the schools fault she made bad choices and the guys were dirtbags?
AGAIN, the girl didn’t deserve what happened to her.
“Doesn’t matter, a 15 year old should be safe walking the streets of America at any hour an in any condition.”
It’s sad that we’ve gotten to the point that safety in America is not a serious consideration anymore. We’ve given up our cities to the criminal element.
I worked with a guy from Switzerland. He had traveled extensively around the world, so he was not naive in any way. But he said that in Switzerland there were not places in the big city that had been handed over to the criminals like so many places in America.
Who believes that?
I guess I’m showing my age, but I can remember a day when, for the most part, young girls could walk the streets without fear. And boys could live their lives without being molested by strangers.
Back in the day when such actions would never reach the courts because it would have been handled locally … and the perverts knew it. Kept them in the closet.
Look who’s in charge of ‘safe schools’...

Damn Amish are at it again.
In too many areas of the country, La Raza has already won. Crime and corruption rule the day and places like Richmond are just Mexico City lite.
I too will be showing my age but that is EXACTLY the America I grew up in.
A shame it is gone.
A real shame. I have told many young’uns how they missed out on living in the greates of times as I’m quite sure it will never again be what it was.
When I was in sixth grade, we were shown a film about what happened to a girl who accepted a ride with a strange man. The film was rather graphic and gory and it was intended to scare us. I don't remember whether the viewing was sex-segregated as the viewing of sex education films were. I think boys and girls viewed it together.
It was a sobering film and we were encouraged to discuss it with our parents afterwards.
I grew up in an area where kids could go off and play in each others' yards. There was a parklike area up the street from our house where a walkway adjoined a busy city street that skirted a canyon. The walkway in some places was below street level. I used to like to walk up there, but one day my mother warned me that a man had taken advantage of the lack of view from the street and molested a girl there. After the incident the city fathers modified the walkway so that it was at street level.
Amazing. I hitch hiked all over the east coast in my youth and never experienced anything close to molestation. As a matter of fact, many of my rides bought me food and gave me money … and helped me in anyway they could. Now, if I were a young person, I would not even think of hitch hiking.
15 years old; leaving the dance along; enticed into a darkened alley; meeting up to 12 young men; the young men were drinking.
Cities always have been rough places. This is not new.
>or ability to change.
Maybe that’s why they need OMuslim so much ...
“young girls were not walking around late at night alone even 30 years ago.”
I was roaming all over the place when I was 15. That was 23 years ago. My folks were strict, but I was sneaky and very angry at that age. I’d steal their car at night and drive around town, lie and say I was babysitting so I could stay out very late, etc. Mind you, it wasn’t to see boys or anything like that - I just wanted to get out and be free. I’d drive across the state line to this little bar that didn’t ID people to buy beer, too. But luckily, nothing bad ever happened and my folks, to this day, have NO clue how dangerously I was living.
gOOD POINTS.
When a young girl is raped in front of a crowd of people
for over 2 hours, then that community can not be policed.
The problem rest with the people of that neighborhood.
