3 Boys Arrested for Trying to Rape 12-Year-Old Schoolmate in Basement Stairwell

The three boys were hit with a slew of charges, including attempted rape, attempted sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment.

Three middle schoolers were arrested for allegedly trying to rape a 12-year-old girl at their Brooklyn school, officials said.

The boys—two 12-year-olds and one 14-year-old—allegedly pulled down the victim’s pants and forcibly touched her in a basement stairwell at Mott Hall No. 4 Middle School in Brownsville at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday, police said.

School officials notified police of the incident.

The three boys were charged as juveniles with attempted rape, attempted sex abuse, attempted criminal sexual act, robbery, grand larceny and unlawful imprisonment.

They were remanded to Brooklyn Family Court, authorities said.

This may have been the second attack the girl suffered, as the oldest boy’s mother allegedly said he had done the same thing to the same girl on September 30, according to the New York Daily News.
