(10-27) 08:21 PDT RICHMOND -- A second suspect is in custody today in the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl who was attacked after leaving early from the homecoming dance at Richmond High School, police said.
A 15-year-old boy who attends the school was arrested late Monday on suspicion of sexual assault. The suspect, whose name was withheld because of his age, was booked at Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall in Martinez.
The boy and former student Manuel Ortega, 19, and as many as five other people attacked the girl in a secluded part of campus on Saturday night, police said. The group had been drinking, and for more than two hours, no one tried to stop the assault or called police.
Police are trying to identify the other assailants. A second juvenile who was detained for questioning Monday was released.
The attack began Saturday about 9:30 p.m., shortly after the girl left the Richmond High gym where the homecoming dance was still going on.
Police believe she was waiting for her father to pick her up outside the school at 1250 23rd St., in the northern flatlands of Richmond near Doctors Medical Center. Before he got there, however, a friend from school invited the girl to join a group of people hanging out and drinking, said police Lt. Mark Gagan.
The girl drank a large amount of alcohol before she was sexually assaulted by members of the group, police said. The girl was airlifted to a local hospital.
The attack has raised questions about campus security. The school has surveillance cameras, but none is operable and a new system should be in place in the next few months, schools officials said.
Four police officers and several school security staffers were on hand at the dance. But two of the staffers, known as site supervisors, left at about 9 p.m. because of a "prior commitment" and because the police believed they had enough support to handle security, said Marin Trujillo, West Contra Costa Unified School District spokesman.

It doesn't surprise me that no one did anything, but it is still and always will be appalling that no one did.Originally Posted by iLLoQuent aka DSK
