BOSTON (AP) – Five teenagers face kidnapping and rape charges for the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old Boston girl who was lured from a subway stop to the basement of a housing development.

The teenagers, all male, were arrested over the weekend for the alleged assault Nov. 29 in the city’s Jamaica Plain section.

David Procopio, spokesman for the Suffolk County district attorney’s office, said the arrests were not immediately announced because authorities are still looking for additional suspects.

One of the boys is 14 years old, and two are 15 years old, Procopio said.

Those three, along with two adults, have been charged with kidnapping and aggravated rape.

All five have pleaded innocent and are being held on bail.
