Four students at Westmoore High School in South Oklahoma City were charged last week with sex crimes against a minor. Now, the young men have each been named in protective orders ordering them to stay away from the girl involved in the incident.
In Oklahoma, the age of consent is 16, but the four teens, aged 18 and 19, are accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl on January 26. Police became aware of the incident after the girl told a school counselor that she had sex with all four young men on January 26.
The girl's mother then reported the incident to police.
Police arrested three of the young men on charges of statutory rape, and a third, who was still 17 at the time of the alleged encounter, was charged with rape by instrumentation:
- Boston Williams, 19, second degree rape
- John Delmoral, 18, second degree rape
- Terrel Skinner, 18, second degree rape
- Johnathan Henderson, 18, rape by instrumentation
The girl told investigators that she left school that day with Henderson, her boyfriend. On the way to a home in Cleveland County, the pair picked up Williams, Delmoral, and Skinner.
Once they arrived at the home, the girl said she went to an upstairs room with Henderson, and the couple began to make out. However, things soon got out of control when the other three men came into the room.
The girl told her mother that she knew the situation was "bad," but she did not know how to get out of it. She said that she was not forcibly raped and that she did not tell any of the men to stop, but she was "shocked" that her boyfriend allowed three other men to have sex with her.
According to the Victim Protective Orders filed in the case, the alleged incident took two hours, with one of the men coming in to have sex with her several times.
All four young men were arrested, and each is currently free on $50,000 bond.
A Victim Protective Order (VPO) is commonly called a "restraining order," and it allows some measure of protection to victims of domestic abuse, stalking, or harassment by ordering the abuser to refrain from contact with victim.
Second degree rape, or statutory rape, occurs when someone has sex with a person who is legally unable to consent to sex. Often this happens when one person is aged 18 or older and the other is under the age of 16. It can also occur between people who are prohibited from engaging in sexual activity because of a supervisory/custodial relationship: teachers and students or corrections employees and inmates, for example. Second degree rape is punishable by 1 to 15 years in prison. It is a Level 3 sex offense that requires a convicted person to register as a sex offender for life.
