WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Crime Library) — When you make your living writing true crime, you come to expect the worst out of criminals, and there's not much out there that shocks you anymore. Or so I thought. I was quickly reminded of that feeling when I found out about the case in point, where a group of thugs raped a woman and then forced her son to join in the sexual assault. I must warn you, the details of this crime are not for the faint of heart.
On June 18, at about 9 p.m., a woman was roused to a knock on her front door. When she asked who it was, a young man told her his vehicle had a flat tire. Not wanting to turn away someone in need, the woman opened her door and offered her assistance. The moment the door opened, a group of gun-wielding suspects forced their way inside. According to the police report, the group consisted of at least ten teenage boys.

Once inside, the suspects separated the woman and her 12-year-old son, neither of whom have been identified, and demanded money. The details of what happened next are sketchy; however, at some point, the teens beat the young boy and smashed a plate over his head. From there, the violence only escalated.
All ten of the suspects gang raped, sodomized and beat the woman in the presence of her son. The victim's screams only served to fuel the suspects' depraved acts. After having their fill of the mother, the suspects turned their attention to her young son, forcing him at gunpoint to have sex with her for their perverse amusement.
