Suspects arrested rape of 12-year-old girl in Miami
On Thursday, two minor suspects, ages 12 and 13, have been charged in connection with the brutal rape of a 12-year-old girl in Miami.
The two suspects, Jusiah Jones and Nelson Nunez, will be charged as adults.
A third suspect, 15-year-old Xavier Tyson, was also arrested and charged in connection with the rape.
According to authorities, the 12-year-old victim was walking home from a friend’s house last June when Nunez grabbed her and forced her onto a couch as Jones put rocks in her mouth to stop her from screaming as Nunez raped her.
The rape suspects only stopped the brutal attack, which had lasted for over 30 minutes, after they heard the girl’s father calling her name.
Nunez is facing charges of kidnapping and sexual battery on a minor. Tyson was charged with sexual battery, false imprisonment, and lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
Jones is also facing aggravated battery and false imprisonment charges.
Local 10 reported:
Miami police say a group of boys took a 12-year-old girl to a community garden in the city’s Overtown neighborhood as one of them raped her for 30 minutes.
Authorities said Jusiah Jones, 12, shoved rocks in the girl’s mouth so she couldn’t scream while Nelson Nunez, 13, sexually assaulted her.
A third boy, Xavier Tyson, is accused of participating as well; he was 14 at the time.
While police arrested them on juvenile charges the next day, all three are now charged as adults following a grand jury indictment issued on Wednesday. Court records show they were booked into the Metrowest Detention Center on Thursday and Jones and Nunez appeared in adult bond court on Friday, where a judge ordered them held without bond.
Tyson, now 15, was initially believed Friday to be charged solely as a juvenile, but Miami-Dade prosecutors confirmed that afternoon that he was indicted on adult charges as well.
