The Alief ISD Police Department has confirmed that it is investigating an alleged gang rape of a female student by two male students in a boy's restroom.
The victim says she was pushed into a boy's bathroom at Alief Middle School and then sexually assaulted by the two male students. A third male student allegedly took pictures and video of the assault with his cell phone, while a fourth male student also witnessed the attack.
Alief ISD confirms that at least three boys have been removed from campus while police investigate. Detectives are going over surveillance video that apparently shows the girl being pushed into the restroom and that they've also confiscated the boy's cell phones to look for videos, pictures and texts.
The incident allegedly happened May 5 and the girl reported it on May 9. Many parents are wondering why the district hasn't told them anything yet.
While Alief ISD officials declined to go on camera, they told KHOU 11 News that they wanted to wait until the investigation was complete before notifying the campus community. Administrators say they were also trying to protect the privacy of the students involved.
There have been no charges filed yet in the alleged attack.
