Three boys charged over alleged rape of teenage girl in Sydney home

Three teenage boys, aged 17, have been charged in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl in a Sydney home on Saturday. The incident occurred in the Macarthur region of New South Wales. Police searched multiple homes in the area and seized electronic devices as part of their investigation. One of the boys faced 11 charges, including six counts of aggravated sexual assault and three counts of rape, while the other two were charged with six counts of sexual assault, rape, and common assault.

All three boys were refused bail and are scheduled to appear in the children's court on Thursday. St Gregory's College, a private school in Campbelltown, expressed deep concern for the victim and her family, emphasizing that sexual violence has no place in their community and that they stand with all victims of sexual violence. The school stressed the importance of allowing the judicial process to proceed without any commentary and requested that everyone avoid speculation or sharing of information that could impact the parties involved or the independent process.

This case follows another recent incident in Sydney, where three students from Sydney's Scots College were charged in connection with the alleged assault of a 14-year-old girl in an alleyway in the city's eastern suburbs. Full Stop Australia, a support organization for victims of sexual violence, is available for anyone affected by these reports.
