Some of the offenses alleged to have been committed by the three men occurred on Dec. 12, 2025, and some on Dec. 14, 2025, according to court records.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Kennedy police received a call at about 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, to check on the two girls, ages 14 and 16, after they were told the two 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 Allegheny 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.
