3 Adults and 3 Juveniles Have Been Arrested After a 7-Year-Old was Sold and Gang Raped in New Jersey

Five people were arrested Saturday April 3rd after a 7-year-old girl was sold by her stepsister and gang raped at a party in an apartment on March 28th. The people arrested have not been named.

The party was at the Rowan Towers block in New Jersey and the 15-year-old stepsister went to the party with some older men. The younger girl went with her stepsister because she was concerned for the older girl's safety according to KTLA News.

The 15-year-old sold herself for money then took offers from the men to touch her younger stepsister. The touching turned to sex and police think that seven different men raped the young girl. The 15-year-old has already been charged with promoting prostitution and aggravated sexual assault among other crimes, but a 20-year-old has also been charged with having sex with the 15-year-old.

On Thursday April 1st Mayor of New Jersey Doug Palmer, said that the victim's family had been notified about the upcoming charges so that they could move out of their neighborhood.

"We made sure they got out of the area," he said Saturday afternoon, before the news conference.

The seven-year-old lives with her mother, two younger siblings and the father of the 15-year-old girl.

Police are still asking for anything with information to come forward so that they can solve the case and bring everyone to justice.

Sentencing the guilty to prison isn't harsh enough punishment. In a civil society, contemplating what to do with people like this demands a full court of consideration.

The animals who raped this little girl should all be castrated and forced to have their genitalia sewn onto their chins... hanging there, sorta like Uncle Sam's beard.

You really aren't that smart are you? The people shouldn't be tortured raped or killed for anyone to see, what good would that do besides scarring other people's memories? Stupid people like you shouldn't be allowed to comment on issues as depraved as this one.

Where were the parents when all of this was going on. How is it possible for a 15yr old is able to pimp her 7yr old step sister out and the parents don't know anything??? Somebody is not doing there job as parents. The mama, daddy, and all other parties involved need to be locked up!

Well, that teenage girl should go get some mental help if she's willing to sell her sister as a sex toy. The men who payed for it should be put in prison too
