Two students have been arrested after police said they raped a girl in the bathroom of a Montgomery County high school.
Police have charged 17-year-old Jose Montano and 18-year-old Henry Sanchez with first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sexual offenses. The suspects were arrested at
Rockville High School by investigators. They are both are being charged as adults, Fox 5 DC is reporting.
According to court documents, the 14-year-old victim previously knew only one of the suspects. She was walking with Montano in a school hallway on Thursday at around 9 a.m. when he asked her for sex. The police report indicates she said no, but then the two suspects are alleged of forcing the girl into a boy’s bathroom and into a stall where they both raped, sodomized and forced her to perform oral sex. The police report indicates she said no repeatedly, tried yelling and tried to fight them off, but was unable to.
At one point during the alleged attack, they heard a noise at the bathroom door, according to the charging documents. Shortly after, they threw one of their jackets over the victim’s head, walked her out of the bathroom and left. Blood and other DNA were found by police in the school bathroom.
The girl reported the rape to school administrators and police were contacted, according to police.
In court, the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office argued the suspects should be held without bond because they are a danger to the public and are a flight risk due to being in the United States for a few months from Central America. The judge in the case sided with prosecutors.
“They are charged with three very serious offenses that carry life in prison, so that is the maximum you can get in the state of Maryland,” said Ramon Korionoff, spokesperson for the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office. “We prosecute criminals. We prosecute the cases as the evidence leads us in those cases and the immigration ramifications are determined at a later point by the proper authorities.”
Although the two suspects are 17 and 18 years old, they were enrolled as freshmen because they both arrived in the United States only a few months ago and were taking English as a Second Language (ESL) classes.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has now lodged an immigration detainer on Sanchez. Prosecutors said he came to the U.S. from Guatemala and has only been in the country for seven months.

Recent immigrants accused of raping young Maryland classmate will be jailed until next hearings

Two ninth-grade students accused of raping a 14-year-old classmate inside a high school bathroom last week will remain behind bars pending court proceedings, a Montgomery County judge ruled Friday.
Henry Sanchez, 18, and Jose Montano, 17, were arrested Thursday at Rockville High School and charged with three counts each in connection with the alleged rape of a female classmate.
Judge Eugene Wolfe refused to grant bond to either during a Friday court hearing and ordered them to remain in custody until their next appearance.
The girl, identified by law enforcement as “Victim A,” told authorities that she was walking in a school hallway Thursday morning when she was approached by the two boys, according to police documents.
“Montano asked Victim A for sex, which she refused. Montano asked again, more persistently, and pushed Victim A into the boys’ bathroom,” police wrote in a probable cause statement after interviewing the girl.
“Victim A was holding a sink to avoid going into the bathroom when Montano grabbed her hand and pulled her into the stall,” police wrote. Montano then began forcibly undressing the girl before Sanchez joined them inside the stall, according to police.
Both young men took turns raping the girl, according to police documents. She told administrators, who alerted police.
Mr. Montano and Mr. Sanchez were arrested at school that same day, and each was charged with first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sexual offenses.
They have been charged as adults, and each faces the possibility of life behind bars if convicted, prosecutors said Friday.
“These are very serious allegations carrying a life sentence. The potential of life in prison would be available as we prosecute these individuals,” said Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County state’s attorney’s office.
Both teens have been in the United States for less than a year and pose a flight risk, The Washington Post reported from Friday’s court hearing.
Mr. Sanchez, a Guatemala native, arrived in the country about seven months ago and is the subject of a pending “alien removal” case, The Post reported.
Mr. Montano arrived in the U.S. about eight months ago, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to comment on his status because he is a minor, according to WTOP.
“The immigration ramifications are determined at a later point by the proper authorities. We just are working very closely with our police and school security partners to ensure this case goes forward in a timely and executed manner,” Mr. Korionoff said.
Mr. Montano and Mr. Sanchez will remain in custody until at least their next hearings, scheduled for March 31 and April 14, respectively.
