Police were seeking possible additional victims Tuesday after seven men and one boy were arrested on suspicion of gang-raping two girls in Ventura County.

The suspects reportedly met the girls on social networking sites and lured them to a home in Santa Paula, where the victims were allegedly gang-raped.

The suspects were identified as:

Esteban Oseguera, 18;
Isaak Ek, 19;
Joseph Sandoval, 18;
Jonathan Gaona, 20;
Dion Mendoza, 19;
Carlos Ek, 22;
Adrian Garcia, 19;
and an underage boy whose name was not released.

Police identified most of the suspects as being gang members and having gang ties.

The charges against them include kidnapping, rape, conspiracy, street terrorism, unlawful intercourse with a minor and rape while the victim was asleep, according to a police statement.

Seven of the suspects were arrested Friday.

Garcia was arrested Sunday morning.

The arrests stemmed from alleged assaults on two girls, one in March and the other in April, the Ventura County Star reported.

Based on the investigation, it is "reasonable to assume additional sexual assault victims may exist," police said in a statement.

And that is why you need to be so careful at how you interact with people on the Internet because they could be anyone. I never use my real name or location on the Internet because you just don't know who is checking you out.

The suspects were identified as:

Esteban Oseguera, 18;
Isaak Ek, 19;
Joseph Sandoval, 18;
Jonathan Gaona, 20;
Dion Mendoza, 19;
Carlos Ek, 22;
Adrian Garcia, 19;

and an underage boy whose name was not released.

I'm sorry, that underage boy's name SHOULD be released! If he's old enough to commit rape, he's old enough to face the music! Plus the PUBLIC needs to know what this "boy" has been up to, could be YOUR son/daughter running around with his "posse". That's just my opinion...
