Teens sexually molested in empty house

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Feb. 24 (UPI) -- A young South Florida man has been charged with forcing four teenagers partying in an abandoned house to perform sex acts on each other.

Francisco Henry, 20, of Delray Beach was arrested Tuesday on a long list of charges that include armed robbery, sexual battery and forcing children under 16 into sex, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. Investigators said one of the victims knew his street name and was able to point out his house.

The four victims told police they were playing cards in a foreclosed house when Henry and another man forced their way in early Thursday. They said they were robbed at gunpoint.

Henry allegedly performed a sex act on the girl in the group and forced the others into sex, telling them he should kill them "for being gay."

"The brutal nature of this crime, the disgusting nature of this crime has all of us shaking our heads," Jeff Messer, a spokesman for Delray Beach police, said Tuesday.

The teens said they were rescued after an hour by a third man who made Henry and his accomplice leave. Police said they are trying to locate that man, hoping he can identify the second perpetrator.
