Warning: Story contains disturbing details

MIAMI — Miami police say a group of boys took a 12-year-old girl to a community garden in the city’s Overtown neighborhood as one of them raped her for 30 minutes.

Authorities said Jusiah Jones, 12, shoved rocks in the girl’s mouth so she couldn’t scream while Nelson Nunez, 13, sexually assaulted her.

A third boy, Xavier Tyson, is accused of participating as well; he was 14 at the time.

While police arrested them on juvenile charges the next day, all three are now charged as adults following a grand jury indictment issued on Wednesday. Court records show they were booked into the Metrowest Detention Center on Thursday and Jones and Nunez appeared in adult bond court on Friday, where a judge ordered them held without bond.

Tyson, now 15, was initially believed Friday to be charged solely as a juvenile, but Miami-Dade prosecutors confirmed that afternoon that he was indicted on adult charges as well.

Police said a fourth boy witnessed the incident.

According to the Miami Police Department, the rape happened at The Green Haven Project community garden, located at 1160 NW Second Ave., near Frederick Douglass Elementary School.

Class President and his honor student pals. Hopefully they will get to excel in prison performing as admirably as they did in the park - just on the receiving end and a lot more often.

SICKENING! So those underprivileged young teen youths will have their aspiring rap careers delayed by months? DISGRACEFUL!

That “warning” is obnoxious as usual. We, the American people, watch bloody horror and true crime movies and John Wick and Quentin Tarantino classics.

What is “disturbing” to me is letting the guilty go free. Including the juvenile offenders. A lot of juvenile offenders require far worse punishment and should be given it.

Law and Order SVU as the books about the show have stated, used real cases with extensive details changed to avoid lawsuits.

The Socialist/Communist far left want these chimpanzees at these ages to vote. Cool. They should be eligible to be tried and punished at that age too.

Hmmmmmmmm....what's going on here? So many of my posts are disappearing without so much as a "comment removed by moderator ".

All I'm seeing is a bunch of "500 that site cannot be reached" or "this site is unavailable. Try again".

Is there something going on in the world that I'm not aware of?

Also, did I mention that I'm not suicidal? I'm very happy.

Stones. That’s what they used. That should be their end. Old Testament style. Let the parents and brothers do it.

if your old enough to get a secret abortion without your parents knowing and change your sex, you are old enough to be held accountable for crimes the same as adults.

“Green Haven Project is a non-profit organization with a focus on creating community gardens and sustainable eco-systems in areas that are predominantly known as food deserts [but not a rape desert]. These are urban areas where residents generally reside in low income housing with little to no access to fresh produce within a 10 mile radius.”

Also, near Frederick Douglass Elementary School. Booker T. Washington Senior High School is also nearby. And the Historic Black Police Precinct Courthouse and Museum.

FR has been slow for me this evening. That might have something to do with it.
