TRENTON -- A 15-year-old New Jersey girl prostituted herself and her 7-year-old stepsister to have sex with as many as seven men and boys at a weekend party near their home in a crime-plagued neighborhood, police said.

Trenton police Capt. Joseph Juniak said Wednesday that the older girl started by taking money to have sex with several men at the party of a high-rise apartment. The teen then gave some of the money she had collected to the younger girl to let the men start touching her, Juniak said.

"It went from touching to straight out assault and rape," Juniak said. "They threatened to kill her if she screamed or told anyone."

The child later put on her clothes and left the apartment; her sister stayed. Two women found the child crying outside the apartment and walked her home.

The teen is charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Her name was not released because of her age. She was being held in a juvenile detention facility in Mercer County, but police did not know whether she had an attorney.

A spokeswoman for the county prosecutor's office, Casey DeBlasio, said prosecutors would seek to have the teen tried as an adult.

Police believe as many as a dozen people were at the party. They are trying to track down the men and boys who attended and are reviewing building surveillance videos and additional arrests are expected.

Police said the girls were outside Sunday afternoon in the neighborhood when the 15-year-old ran into two young men she knew who invited her to a party at the apartment. Rather than leave the 7-year-old behind, the teen took her along.

At the party, the 15-year-old starting having sex with several of the men for money and then gave the younger girl some cash to let a group of men touch her, Juniak said. He would not say how much money was exchanged.

The girls' parents reported them missing late Sunday afternoon.

Police had just arrived at the home when the 7-year-old returned, Juniak said, and told her parents what happened.

The child was treated at a hospital, and police said child protective services is working with the family to get her psychological help.

Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer called the crime "sickening" and said it was among the worst he's seen in his 20 years as mayor.

"The police are taking this personal," the mayor said. "I know there's a place in hell for all the people that participated in this and I'm sure they will get there."

"Personally as a father with a 7-year-old daughter, I can't imagine the horror," Palmer added.

The apartment building where the assault took place, Rowan Towers, sits in the shadow of the Statehouse and is well-known to police, who are hired by the building to handle security at night from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Last week alone they responded to a home invasion there and shots fired outside the building.

It's unclear when the girls entered the building and whether any screams or cries were heard by anyone.

Police Director Irving Bradley Jr. said police have been meeting with building management, who recently agreed to have two officers work the night shift so that one could patrol the building's floors and hallway.

Many of the apartments are vacant. The renter of the 13-floor apartment where the party was held had not been home for quite a while, and investigators were trying to find out how the partygoers got in, Juniak said.

Juniak indicated that the 15-year-old previously had contact with child services, but he declined to elaborate or discuss the family's makeup, except to say the girls "considered themselves sisters." The state Department of Children and Families declined to say whether officials had interacted with the family, citing agency policy.

Hope they keep that piece of trash in jail where she belongs.

What an EFFIN' disgrace!

But you have to wonder how damaged that teen was to begin with...

At this point nothing surprises me, we live in a world full of demons. Makes me sick.

damn

That is FUCKED up on so many levels.

Just incredibly sad for so many reasons.

Put that trick under the damn jail and throw away the key

Not much shocks me, but this absolutely made my jaw drop. I read this yesterday, and still am utterly disturbed. I fear for my soon to be born baby girl.

This is one sick and twisted world we live in.

poor little girl...damaged physically and emotionally...

I hope they find these "men" (nasty filthy scum shit is a better term, I think), they should be castrated and have their bollocks shoved up their asses for touching on children!

Amen to that!



I think this girl, as disgusted as I am with what she did, has probably been molested all her life so it's nothing to her to prostitute herself or another child. Unfortunately, I think she's reached a point of no return and the best place for her is prison. Yes try her as an adult for what she did and allowed to happen to that 7 year old.


All these males that participated.... killing aint even good enough!


And while we're at it, throw those parents in jail. I no longer believe parents are just "in the dark" about their children being abused. You got some skanky ass teen hanging around your little girl and that's okay with you? Please!

DesireeNevermind said:

Absolutely!

They keep playing this story on the radio. It's even harder to hear.

Keep in mind, it all starts at home. I think this situation is sad as it is disgusting. That poor child is still trying to figure herself at in the world, is being molested by grown men? Lord have mercy. The has been a sick place ever since we came here. But all jokes aside, that teenage needs to spend so time in prison and think about what she did, and also get her some help to, because I have a feeling she's been molested also. I have a feelig that those parents are pretty shady...

* 7-Year-Old Sex: 'They'd Kill Her If She Screamed'
(4/1/2010)
* NJ Teen Accused Of Selling Sister, 7, For Sex
(3/31/2010)

Police raided a New Jersey public housing complex Thursday where officials say a 7-year-old girl was gang raped, and arrested 27 people on outstanding warrants.

Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer said the pre-dawn sweep of Rowan Towers was planned before the girl's attack. He said police hope the arrests will lead to tips that help them find those who assaulted the girl, otherwise the arrests were unrelated to the case.

"This is only the beginning," Palmer said. "We're not going to rest until that area is cleaned up so that decent people can live without the threat of fear and violence."

Police said the young victim's 15-year-old stepsister sold the girl to have sex with as many as seven men and boys at a party in a vacant apartment.

According to police, the teen told her sister to "let the boys do what they want."

While the mayor says the arrests are unrelated, police hope they lead to tips that help them find the suspects.

The stepsister is charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. No other arrests directly related to the case have been made.

The encounters allegedly happened inside the Rowan Towers Apartments Sunday afternoon. The teen was said to have willingly engaged in sex with multiple men for cash herself.

"I think everyone, not just in Trenton, in New Jersey but across this nation and the world is shocked, outraged and horrified by the barbaric act of monster pervert rapists and what happened to an innocent angel," Mayor Doug Palmer said.

"They said they would kill her if she screamed. It's crazy," one resident said.

"We do believe that the 7-year-old was held against her will by the individuals, and that's when sexual assault took place," Trenton Police Department Capt. Joe Juniak said.

Police said they have DNA evidence, some surveillance video and leads but need to zero in on exactly who was in the apartment. They said they anticipate making multiple arrests of both juvenile and adult males.

Many of those arrested Thursday were women, who told The Associated Press the warrants were for minor infractions. Police did not immediately return calls for further details.

Residents said the assault was clearly at the forefront of police officers' agenda during the raid at the apartment building, a high-rise complex so dangerous that police are hired as security guards at night.

Tair Rivers, 27, said officers yelled, "What happened to the little girl?" as they arrested her and other women. Rivers was arrested for outstanding parking tickets, she said.

Rivers lives in 13-H, an apartment right across from 13-C where the party occurred. She said she was not home over the weekend but would not hesitate to tell police if she knew something.

"We all got kids," Rivers said. "If we knew something, we would tell."

Police believe as many as a dozen people were at the party and say everyone in the apartment when the rape occurred could be legally culpable. There were security cameras at the complex and police said they were reviewing all available building surveillance videos.

27 people arrested

This is a kinda sick world....I feel like the bad out number the good.

DesireeNevermind said:

I believe this too.

In part from personal experience and observation.

peacenlovealways said:

It has always been this way.

This has me so


To think that 27 men would, one after the other, hurt this child. I know in their minds what they did was natural and acceptable but it's like they don't even have an inkling of morality to not work in a fucking pack!!! This child could have died and she probably has some physical damage let alone emotional trauma.

I hope each and every one of those bastards are held without bail and that they somehow accidentally commit suicide.


I swear when it comes to these evil people, we don't need a justice system other than vigilante justice. Throw them to the wolves to be devoured. I would happily take a bat to each of their skulls...over and over again.

DesireeNevermind said:

Only to keep the facts correct, 27 people were arrested for unrelated charges in the same building. The first article said up to a dozen people were involved in the despicable acts, the 2nd updated article said possibly 7 people were involved.
Horrific nonetheless!

nd33 said:

well fuck them too.

DesireeNevermind said:

I agree...especially with the emotional and physical damage....I hope the little girl turns out ok...

My heart hurts for that 7 year old. There are no words. I have to wonder, why did anybody other than her parents have access to a 7 year old?

StillGotIt said:

They trusted the "step sister"

chocolate1 said:

Oh my God..how could someone have sex with 7 years old girl?

It's sad enough that a 15 year feels that it is ok to sell herself, but pimping your own little sister

death penalty.

peacenlovealways said:

That is soooo awful. WTF was wrong with this demonic teen--WTF...was she a crack hoe? WTF!!! I'm furious.....this is one of the rare cases where a stoning doesn't sound like it would be too bad.....
