Court records show that eight members of the boy's family, including his mother, had agreed to testify that he was at a family reunion until 10 p.m. the night of the assaults - until the boy's DNA was shown to be among the evidence found on the girl.

"Court records portray a motherless girl who longed for a mostly absent father and who tried to do the right thing even when it hurt.
Her mother died of AIDS, leaving her 18-month-old daughter infected with HIV, records state.
"In the latest assault, the girl told police that she had a crush on a 16-year-old girl and went over to her house to visit on Monday. The older girl then directed her to have sex with three teens and a 40-year-old man. When the 11-year-old later went to the basement, she told police, she was confronted by up to 15 other boys and men and performed various sex acts with them."
"A 15-year-old boy has been charged with two counts of party to the crime of first-degree sexual assault. Records show he was placed on one year of probation in October 2004 for possession of cocaine. In August he was placed on one year of probation for auto theft and possession of marijuana.
His mother, records show, is a long-time drug addict who has served time in prison. A relative who became his guardian said that in the past the boy was "living on the street and moving from home to home."
