(Trenton, New Jersey) Authorities will seek to prosecute a 15-year-old girl as an adult after learning that she prostituted herself and her 7-year-old stepsister to a group of men and boys at a weekend party.
Trenton police Capt. Joseph Juniak said Wednesday that the older girl started by taking money to have sex with several men at the party of a high-rise apartment. The teen then gave some of the money she had collected to the younger girl to let the men start touching her, Juniak said.The sex assaults took place in Rowan Towers which is close to the New Jersey Statehouse. It's well-known to law enforcers. Police are searching for the men and boys who attended the party.
"It went from touching to straight out assault and rape," Juniak said. "They threatened to kill her if she screamed or told anyone."
The child later put on her clothes and left the apartment; her sister stayed. Two women found the child crying outside the apartment and walked her home.
The teen is charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Her name was not released because of her age. She was being held in a juvenile detention facility in Mercer County, but police did not know whether she had an attorney.
