Girl, 11, lured into a park restroom and 'gang raped by seven teens from a street gang'

By Daily Mail Reporter

A 19-year-old gang member wanted by police over the alleged rape of an 11-year-old girl by seven teenagers was captured on Monday.

Michael Sykes was arrested at a house in Moreno Valley in California, close to where the attack took place.

The six others allegedly involved in the gang rape, all juveniles, were arrested shortly after the crime was reported.

The six boys are all over 14 and may be charged as adults, police said.

The incident happened at Victoriano Park on March 10. The young victim was lured into the park's bathroom by an older girl, say police.

Moreno Valley police Lt. Chad Bianco said gang members frequently gang rape female members as part of an initiation, but this case was unusual because it targeted an innocent victim.

The 11-year-old girl was at a shopping centre close by when she was approached by the older girl, who she knew, Mr Bianco said.

The older girl, who has also been arrested, led the victim to Victoriano Park where the boys and Sykes were waiting for her, police said.

Sheriff's Investigator Matt Diaz said that no further details were immediately available on the case.

He added that it's not uncommon for the department to avoid giving out details of a case right after it happens because it could jeopardise the investigation.

Captured: Michael Sykes, 19, the only adult in the seven-strong gang accused of raping an 11-year-old girl in a park

Ambushed: The public restroom in Moreno Valley where the attack took place

The case is the second time in a month in which a girl has been raped at an Inland-area park in California.

In February, three boys were arrested after a middle school student in Banning told police that a boy sexually assaulted her while the two others held her down at Roosevelt Williams Park.

The boys and the victim attended nearby Nicolette Middle School, the Sheriff's Department said.

But unlike that incident, the assault in Moreno Valley is gang-related, said Capt. John Anderson, chief of the Moreno Valley station.

The six juveniles who were caught belonged to a street gang in the town, he added.

Mr Anderson said the park and surrounding neighbourhoods do not have a high-crime reputation and he called the rape an isolated incident, pe.com reports.

Mr Anderson said: 'As a father - even as a police officer - there are crimes that shock us. This is one of them.'

He added that deputies acted quickly after the crime was reported and that the six suspects were swiftly rounded up.

Sheriff Stan Sniff called the incident 'despicable.'

He said: 'It shocks you to your core. It never ceases to amaze me how vicious these things can be."

Victoriano Park is listed on the city's website as one of 28 parks in Moreno Valley that have security lighting.
