Police: 4 Men Kidnap, Rape 16-Year-Old Girl

POSTED: Friday, January 25, 2008

A 16-year-old girl was abducted as she walked to school on Thursday and raped by four men, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Three of the four men accused were arrested and charged with kidnapping and armed sexual battery.

According to the police reports, when an officer saw the girl walking on Kivler Drive about 9:30 a.m. and stopped to find out if she was a truant, she began to cry and run. When he caught up with her and asked what was wrong, she said she had just been kidnapped and raped by four men.

The victim said she was walking in the 8600 block of Cinderella Drive when a Jeep Cherokee pulled up, a man pointed a gun at her and said, "You need to come with me," according to police.

She said she was driven to a house, taken inside, ordered to take off her clothes, then all four raped her, according to police.

When they left her alone in a bedroom, she climbed out the window and escaped, she told police.

Investigators said that the victim took police to the home on Macgregor Drive where she said she was raped. The suspects and SUV were gone, but LaBron Miller, 28, was arrested when he walked up to the home, police said.

"She, without mistake, positively identified him as one of the suspects involved in the case," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson said. "While processing the scene, the others suspects rode up in a car. She, again, identified these individuals and they were taken into custody."

Those men were identified as Alan Alley, 26, and Dwayne Miller, 29.

Police continue to look for a fourth suspect.

Channel 4's Scott Johnson talked to the victim and her parents, who said they were healing and hope that justice is served.
