3 To Stand Trial In Alleged Santa Rosa Gang Rape
SANTA ROSA (CBS 5 / BCN) ―
Three Santa Rosa men were held over for trial Wednesday on five felony charges stemming from the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl in April.
Oscar Anibal Magana-Aristando, 20, Salvador Armando Rivas, 18, and
Alejandro Corado, 31, will re-enter pleas to the charges on Nov. 12 in Sonoma County Superior Court.
They are charged with rape in concert by force or violence, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, oral copulation in concert by force, and giving a minor a controlled substance.
The girl, now 16, testified at the preliminary hearing that she was forced into a sport utility vehicle after she twice refused the suspects' offer for a ride while she was walking on Coffey Lane in Santa Rosa to her aunt's house on April 6.
The suspects then drove her to nearby Comstock Middle School where
she was held down and sexually assaulted by each of the suspects, the teen
said.
A juvenile boy also was charged in connection with the incident.
His mental competence is an issue in his prosecution in juvenile court.
The girl testified that during the attack she was kicked and a white powdery substance, allegedly methamphetamine, was poured down her throat. The suspects then dropped her off at a shopping center on Farmers Lane and Fourth Street in Santa Rosa and she got a ride to her grandmother's
house, the girl said.
The girl said she learned a month later she was pregnant and had an abortion.
