NOBLESVILLE, Ind. -- A man is under arrest on suspicion of being one of up to four people who allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl near Noblesville last week.
Miguel Gutierrez, 20, who authorities say is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, faces two counts of rape.
Authorities said the 14-year-old was among three girls who visited an acquaintance at a party at a Noblesville area home. At the party, the 14-year-old was given alcohol and was taken to a garage area, where she was raped by up to four people early Thursday, authorities said.

Ex-Navy Officer Sentenced For Illegally Exporting Military Aircraft Parts
Defendant plotted with high-profile Pakistani weapons trader in arms export scheme
San Diego - A onetime Naval intelligence officer from Escondido was sentenced yesterday to one year in prison for his role in a scheme to illegally export military aircraft parts to Malaysia and Belgium following a joint investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS).
George Charles Budenz II, 61, was sentenced for violating the Arms Export Control Act as part of a massive probe that began in 2004. In addition to the prison term, Budenz was also ordered to spend six months in a halfway house and pay a $10,000 fine.
In October 2005, the former Navy Commander and naval attaché pleaded guilty to three counts of illegally exporting military aircraft parts as part of a scheme involving Pakistani arms trafficker Arif Ali Durrani. Specifically, Budenz admitted that, at Durrani's direction, he illegally exported engine parts for the U.S. F-5 fighter jet, the T-38 military trainer jet, and Chinook military helicopters to Malaysia and Belgium without the required export licenses.
At Durrani's trial here earlier this year, Budenz testified that he knew the Pakistani national had previously been convicted of violating the Arms Export Control Act and that Durrani was ineligible to obtain Department of State licenses for the export of defense articles. Evidence presented during the trial established that some of the aircraft parts Durrani exported were destined for Iran. Durrani was sentenced last month to more than 12 years in prison.
"This case demonstrates ICE's commitment to investigating arms traffickers who sell U.S. military parts to state sponsors of terrorism," said Miguel Unzueta, special agent in charge for the ICE office of investigations in San Diego. "ICE is helping to keep sensitive technology from falling into the wrong hands."
