TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – Two high school football players from suburban Toledo are in custody after being charged with the rape of a fellow student.
Local media outlets report the two males, aged 17 and 14, were arrested at Sylvania Southview High School on Tuesday and charged with the rape of a 15-year-old girl.
The boys were being held in the Lucas County Juvenile Detention Center ahead of an Oct. 1 trial date.
A police report says the female was “forced to engage in sexual activity” by the pair in the restrooms at Olander Park around 3:30 p.m. Monday.
Neither the police nor the school would comment on the incident. A schools spokeswoman said counselors were provided and classes continued as normal.
An interim director at the park said security measures have been heightened.
