4 Damascus High School students indicted on rape charges in locker room attack
WASHINGTON — Four teens who were arrested and charged as adults in connection with a locker room sexual assault at Damascus High School in Montgomery County, Maryland, have been indicted by a grand jury.
Jean Claude “JC” Abedi, Kristian Jamal “KJ” Lee, Will Smith and Caleb Thorpe, who are all 15 years old, were indicted Thursday on one count of first-degree rape, three counts of attempted first-degree rape and four counts of conspiracy to commit rape, according to a Montgomery County State’s Attorney Office spokesman.
The teens were arrested last week and held in Montgomery County jail. They were released on an unsecured $20,00 bond following a court hearing Monday.
The four teens allegedly sought out four freshman members of the junior varsity football team before practice Oct. 31, held them down and assaulted them in the locker room.The victims, all 14 years old, said they were attacked separately inside the locker room.
During the hearing, Assistant Montgomery County State’s Attorney Peter Feeney called the attack an “astonishingly cruel and violent rape.”
A fifth teen has been charged as a juvenile and has not been identified.
