Three teenage boys, aged 17, have been charged in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl at a home in Sydney's south-west, according to New South Wales police. The arrests occurred on Wednesday, following an investigation that led police to search multiple homes in the Macarthur region and seize electronic devices.
One of the boys faces 11 charges, including six counts of aggravated sexual assault and three counts of rape, while the other two are charged with six counts of sexual assault and rape, and two counts of aggravated sexual assault, respectively. All three suspects were denied bail and will appear before the children's court on Thursday.
St Gregory's College, a private school in Campbelltown, released a statement expressing deep concern for the victim and her family, emphasizing that sexual violence is abhorrent and stands against their values. The college requested that the community refrain from speculation or sharing information that could impact the ongoing investigation.
