MESQUITE, Texas — Content warning: This article contains graphic descriptions of a sexual assault that may not be suitable for some readers.
Mesquite police say a 17-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by several men in one room, often at gunpoint, at times as she was unconscious, according to new arrest warrants obtained by WFAA.
Mesquite police confirm four men were arrested for the alleged assault: Cortez Bickham, 19; Eric King, 21; Charles Turner, 19; and Larome Fisher, 34.
Police confirm they are still looking for a fifth suspect and believe there may be more victims who have not yet come forward.
In this case, police say the 17-year-old girl met one of the suspects at a beauty supply store in Balch Springs last Monday, according to the four suspects’ arrest affidavits. She and the suspect exchanged Instagram handles and agreed to meet later to smoke and have sex, the affidavits said. They met in a Mesquite home, according to the victim, where she told investigators she was held at gunpoint three different times as she was repeatedly assaulted, forced to have sex with two people and perform oral sex on five.
The affidavits detail how, at one point, one of the suspects “pressed the gun into her head and told her that he was in charge.” She told investigators she was given alcohol and marijuana to the point where she started to vomit, and that at one point, a man had sex with her as she was unconscious.
The victim was taken to a children’s hospital afterwards, where she was examined and interviewed by detectives, who say they have found multiple reports of sex offenses at the same house.
