Chicago / Chiraq - Three Chicago Public Schools students have been charged with robbing and raping a 16-year-old girl at gunpoint after she got off a CTA bus on the South Side.
The students — who attend Chicago Vocational Career Academy — were ordered held without bail Saturday.
Antwan Brown, 16, and Jeremiah Seymour and Kieran Smith, both 15, are charged as adults with aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated robbery in the 11 p.m. Thursday attack in the 8100 block of South Harper in Avalon Park.
Wearing navy blue, jail-issued sweat clothes, they appeared Saturday before Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas, who denied them bail, saying, “Not only is this victim — but this community at large — is in grave danger.”
All three defendants admitted the allegations against them, according to Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Mary Hain, who said the police recovered a Motorola cell phone and $100 the three teenagers are suspected of stealing from the victim.
