Four Brooklyn teenagers were charged as adults this morning in last week's gang rape of an 18-year-old woman in a playground, and a fifth suspect was being questioned by detectives, authorities said.
The four boys, one as young as 14, were arraigned on a single count each of rape and sex abuse and two counts of participating in a criminal sex act.
The fifth suspect, who was taken into custody at about 11am at Tilden high School, where he is a student, is awaiting charges.
Police identified four of the accused rapists as Denzel Murray, 14; Shaquell Cooper and Ethan Phillip, both 15; and 17-year-old Onandi Brown.
New York Daily News and other local news media have identified the fifth suspect as 17-year-old Travis Beckford.
Authorities were told the attack began at about 9pm Thursday after an 18-year-old woman and her 39-year-old father decided to drink beer together near a handball court at a playground residents say usually is quiet and empty at night.
The woman told investigators that a group of teenagers approached the pair in the park and ordered the father to leave. He returned moments later, hurled a bottle at them and then one pulled out a handgun and chased him away, according to the woman's account.
The father, who didn't have a cellphone, said he wandered around for several minutes in a futile attempt to get help.
He said he went into a deli to call for help, but a merchant refused to let him use a telephone. After about 15 minutes, the father flagged down two police officers, who found the woman wandering the playground.

Shaquell?
Odd name for an Amish youth.
Dad was an abject coward. I hope that he can live knowing how terribly he failed his daughter that night.
He and his daughter were foolish for being in the park after dark in a Blasio regime.
Another example of how “Gun Control” is a sad empty farce. The thugs had no problem getting a gun
"...an 18-year-old woman and her 39-year-old father decided to drink beer together near a handball court..."
What father decides to drink beer with his 18 year old daughter near a handball court in January? I think there is a lot wrong with this father.
Why didn’t the father just start shooting these thugs who were threatening grave bodily harm to his daughter and himself?
Wasn’t he in America?
But they is chilluns and this is raysissss.
Yep, the alibi makes no sense. I think they may have been looking for drugs or some other illegal activity when the drug dealers (teens) decided they wanted more.
Now this article says they both were?
That. Explains. A. Lot.

There's more to the story than that. Dad was so drunk that the merchants who he went to couldn't understand what he was saying. For some reason they left that part out, just saying that the man was swaying from side to side as he was asking for a phone.
Secondly, we don’t know how old dad was....

Say what now? I know you can write, so I have to assume you can read.
(see excerpt above. It tells us he is 39.)
Rape is an inherently adult crime. I approve of releasing the names of forcible rapists. I also approve of holding them until trial with no bail. These predators, if guilty, should be locked up for life with no possibility of parole. It’s unfortunate what would happen to kids aged 14, 15, 15, and 17 in prison, but not as unfortunate as the same thing happening to their innocent victim.
#BlackLivesMatter. Failing to lock these evil thugs up forever would endanger too many black lives, and those lives matter too much to take that risk.
Calm down.
Dad was so drunk, he couldn’t report daughter’s gang rape
The Brooklyn dad who ran away while his 18-year-old daughter was being gang-raped at gunpoint walked into two local delis to try to get help — but was too drunk for anyone to understand him, witnesses said Monday.
“He was swaying side to side. He asked me, ‘Lend me your phone.’ I said no,’’ said a worker in one of the shops, Zaida Deli and Grocery.
