According to Lt. Jeff Duhamell, Gibson and Lashaway had sex with the 7-year-old at least four times in January and some of the episodes were allegedly videotaped.

The investigation began when the girl confided in someone at her school, authorities said. Child Protective Services was contacted and police were called in to investigate.

"It's thankful that it came out now, because it probably would have gotten worse as far as the sexual acts were concerned, to the point, who knows what would have happened," Duhamell said.

Police think there may have been more encounters, but the charges stem from the four occasions the girl recounted.

Duhamell said sex toys were used during encounters he described as "disturbing and sick."

Gibson and Lashaway were booked into the Marion County Jail.
