DAMASCUS, Md. – One of four Maryland teenagers charged as adults
with rape in a Damascus High School locker-room attack is set to
appear in court.
The Washington Post reports a judge is expected to rule Friday
on whether the case against the 15-year-old will be tried in
adult court or sent to juvenile court.
Authorities say he and three others restrained four 14-year-olds
before an October junior varsity football practice and raped
them or tried to rape them with broomsticks. A fifth teen faced
second-degree rape charges as a juvenile.
The 15-year-old's attorney, David Felsen, said in court filings
that the teen thought he was committing an established football
program prank. He says his client isn't able to "appreciate the
adult requirements of his behavior."
The newspaper says similar hearings for the other teens charged
as adults are expected.
