The man demanded money, she said she didn't have any and gave him her MP3 player. She tried to run away and another black male in a yellow jacket, later identified as Bryant, grabbed her and said she could either perform oral sex on both of them or let them have intercourse with her.

The woman described details of being raped by Bryant and a 16-year-old. Bothwere later arrested and charged.

The juvenile is scheduled for a transfer hearing on Dec. 14 to determine if he will be tried as an adult.
