The rape of an 11-year-old girl may have involved as many as 10 men, most of whom are football players at local community colleges, police said Sunday. Police arrested two men in connection with the rape Saturday night, and officials said they identified eight others as persons of interest in the case. Most or all are students at either Fresno City College or Reedley College, police said. The victim, a runaway from a group home, went to the Villa Hermosa apartments in southwest Fresno on Saturday night to visit an acquaintance who lived there, said police spokesman Jeff Cardinale. While she was inside one of the units, she allegedly was sexually assaulted multiple times by several men, he said. The girl then fled the apartment and sought the help of a couple walking on the street. They called police around 9 p.m., Cardinale said. The victim, who suffered no serious physical injuries, was taken to University Medical Center for an examination. Mackey Davis, 20, and Eddie Scott, 19, were arrested on one count each of child molestation with a victim under 14 and oral copulation with a victim under 18. Both were being held Sunday at Fresno County Jail on $100,000 bail. The rape allegedly took place in housing arranged by the Fresno City College football team. Davis and Scott were students at Reedley and may have been in the process of transferring to Fresno City, Cardinale said. Calls and e-mails to the Fresno City athletic department were not immediately returned. Calls to Reedley went unanswered. KFSN-TV reported that officials from both schools had planned to meet Sunday evening to discuss what course of action to take.

What does "rape" mean anymore?
"What does "rape" mean anymore?"
It means many different things. But let me ask you, with an 11 year old girl does consent mean anything?
It won't be long before the MSM will be talking about this in the same breath as the Duke Lacrosse case.
Since the left has succeeded in changing definitions.
But let me ask you, with an 11 year old girl does consent mean anything?
Yes. An 11 year-old is incapable of it. It also means to me that if the perpetrators are found guilty they should be executed.
with, no by
I wonder if the New Black Panthers will demand to conduct their own investigation.
These guys should have explained they were doing scientific research for the Kinsey Institute. No problems then.
I wonder if anybody here will complain about a rush to judgement. (Not really, I already know the answer).
Sexual relations with a minor under the age of consent. Which, except for a hillbilly state or two, the LOWEST is around 16.
Doesn't matter if they thought she was older.
Doesn't matter if they were told she was older.
Doesn't matter if she said she was older.
I agree. Although I think the age of consent should be lowered to 14, 11 is a child and she is incapable of giving consent.
It is California though...
The age of consent in the state of California is 18. Highest in the Nation.
These guys are toast, period, end of story, there is no defense, all the prosecution has to do was prove the event happened.
At that point the Defendants go to jail.
They do not pass go.
They do not collect $200.
And I'm sure Newsweek will splash their photos on the cover like they did with the lacrosse players.
Does that mean you consider 14 adulthood?
I hope that you are not a parent or in any way responsible for children...
Yes, it is California, but the central valle, Fresno included, is pretty conservative. I don't expect there to be much in the way of mercy here if even half of this article is accurate.
Meaning the laws and enforcement of the laws are completely different from each other. Take a look at all the birth certificates issued to teenage mothers some time.
Make watching it a requirement for all high school and college sports teams.
But there's part of the problem. No father, not even an Uncle, brother or Grandfather.
If this was my (blond) daughters, or my (blond) niece, (blond) granddaughter, or (black haired) great nieces, some young "men", and I use the term very loosely, would be missing some important parts of their sexual anatomy. The only question would be .45 hollow points, or a 12 gauge shotgun."
They do like their football teams, though. I suspect this will quietly die away. I could be wrong, though.
