Gregory Joseph Leary, Gang rape of 7 year old

Three teenage boys and two men, who allegedly gang raped a 7-year-old Trenton, N.J., girl, who had been sold to them by her 15-year-old sister at a party, were arrested and charged Saturday night.

The alleged rapists, who are in police custody and whose ages range from 13 to 20, gave the child's sister money at the party, so that they could touch the little girl sexually.

The teen sister attended the party in a building that was located in a crime-ridden area. Apparently, she had gone to the party to sell sex to men and boys in attendance. The child tagged behind her older sibling, because she wanted to keep an eye on her, and ironically, to make sure the teen was safe.

Police reports state, the male partygoers' touches turned into a forcible sexual attack on the little girl, which resulted in a rape of at least seven men. Those arrested included Gregory Joseph Leary, 20, (pictured above) who has been in custody since Friday. The other four are Timear Lewis, 19, (pictured below) and three boys aged 13, 14 and 17. Each was charged with aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment. Two more men are at large; authorities expect to make additional arrests.

The unidentified teen sister is facing a battery of charges, including promoting prostitution and aggravated sexual assault. She remains in juvenile detention.

As far as bringing the other men who were also involved in the rape to custody, police are working diligently. Mayor Douglas Palmer has put out a call to the citizens of the New Jersey capitol to provide law enforcement with any information regarding this case. Many have said that they were afraid of retaliation in the gang-infested area if they came forward.

Mayor Palmer has met with the victim and her family, saying the family is receiving counseling and may relocate. He is, however, on an unyielding mission to find the other perpetrators who took part in this "heinous crime."

"We're not finished because everyone who is responsible is still not arrested," he said. "The police will not rest until we get every individual who was involved in this."
