Three men charged with rape, sexual assault and other crimes in connection with an incident that police say involved two teenage girls and occurred at a Kennedy Township home last month were ordered to answer to those charges following separate preliminary hearings held Tuesday before Allegheny County Magisterial District Judge Carla M. Swearingen-Batch.
Dashawn Hines, 18, and Andre Hines, 20, both of McKees Rocks, and Amaud Berry, 18, of Virginia Beach, Va., on Tuesday were ordered to appear in Common Pleas Court March 19 for formal arraignment on numerous charges related to an incident that authorities say took place at home on Castle View Drive the night of Dec. 13, 2025.
All three men were being held Tuesday without bail at the county jail, where they’ve been in custody since Dec. 26.
Dashawn Hines and Berry were held to answer to two counts each of unlawful restraint of a minor with a risk of bodily injury, rape by forcible compulsion, rape of a substantially impaired person, sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor and conspiracy, all felonies; and two counts each of misdemeanor simple assault, indecent assault by forcible compulsion, indecent assault of a substantially impaired person, corruption of minors and weapons possession.
Dashawn Hines also was held to answer to two counts of false imprisonment, a misdemeanor, while Berry was held to answer to two felony counts of false imprisonment of a minor.
Andre Hines was held to answer to one count each of simple assault, unlawful restraint of a minor with a risk of bodily injury, false imprisonment, rape by forcible compulsion, rape of a substantially impaired person, sexual assault, indecent assault by forcible compulsion, indecent assault of a substantially impaired person, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor and conspiracy.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Kennedy police received a call at about 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, to check on two girls, ages 14 and 16, after they were told the girls were being held against their will by adults at a residence.
While responding to the call, officers found the two girls walking on Ewing Road, and the girls identified the home where they said they had been held. The two girls were then transported to UPMC Children’s Hospital for medical evaluation, and they were later interviewed by county police detectives at the hospital.
According to court records, the girls told detectives they used drugs at a home on Castle View Drive, then were restrained before being raped by the three men.
