14-year-old girl gang raped by black males

A 14-year-old girl was raped behind an apartment complex in east Pascagoula and 5 males ranging in age from 15 to 18 were arrested, the city Police Department reported. Police responded to the River Reach Apartments after the victim and a 15-year-old female friend told the victim's parents about the attack, and the parents called police. The parents took the victim to Singing River Hospital, where she was treated and released. Police would not say whether the girl or her friend knew the attackers. Police said an investigation found that the girl was raped by two of the suspects as the others watched behind a building at 3000 Brazil Street, which is east of Chicot Street and south of Old Mobile Highway. The 14-year-old and her friend were walking near the apartments when she was pulled to the rear of one of the buildings and raped by 17-year-old Tywan Magee of 4309 Scovel Ave. and 16-year-old Antonio Martin of 4420 Lynx, police said. Demarius Deontae Fountain, 15, of 4315 Orchard Road, and Zyron Jefferson, 17, watched and taunted the victim, police said. During the assault, 17-year-old Garry Thompson pulled the 15-year-old friend away from the victim when she tried to intervene, authorities said.
