Teen boys charged in rape
Three 16-year-old boys have been accused of raping and sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl.
Detective Capt. Lawrence Eggert said the teenagers were charged Monday morning in connection to a May 12 incident at one of their homes.
The Lockport High School students had previously befriended the girl, who has a disability. Eggert said the assault allegedly lasted for about an hour-and-a-half in a Lock Street home. A broom handle also was reportedly used.
?She was sexually abused by four kids,? Eggert said. ?They took turns.?
The fourth teenager has not yet been charged in the alleged crime. He was scheduled to turn himself in to police Monday morning.
A few days later, the girl told her caseworker about what had happened. Egg
ert said the incident had been taped on a cell phone, although the video clip was deleted before it was given to the police department.
A school administrator tipped off police, the report said.
The following teenagers have been charged in the incident:
n Dontre R. Woods, 16, 205 Lock St., north, was charged with first-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act.
n Nicholas M. Smith, 16, 46 Crosby Ave., was charged with first-degree aggravated sexual abuse, first-degree criminal sexual act and first-degree rape.
n Antonio Sheppard, 16, 60 Gabriel Drive, Apt. A, was charged with promoting a sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child.
Eggert said the number of people there may have contributed to the event.
?There is a group dynamic that goes into riots,? Eggert said. ?When one person is standing alone, he would never do it. You get one or two people together, then three or four and they say ?let?s try this.??

All three boys are scheduled to return Wednesday to Lockport City Court.
