A 17-year-old with a criminal history will remain in jail without bond in Gwinnett County in connection with sexual assault charges, officials said.
“The fact that you are on probation appears not to have made much of an impression on you,” Judge Tom Davis said to Cameron Richard in court Thursday, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Richard, the lone suspect old enough to be charged as an adult, was charged with raping a 16-year-old and possession of child pornography.
The alleged rape happened May 3 in a “bus lot” near Snellville’s South Gwinnett High School, where police said the teenagers went to use drugs.
The attack was reportedly recorded and later "transmitted around the school," Snellville police Chief Roy Whitehead has said.
Warrants allege that Richard "did record on his cellphone two males having intercourse with a juvenile victim that is laying on the ground in and out of consciousness due to being under the influence of Xanax and marijuana."
Richard is also accused of raping the alleged victim, who warrants say was “unable to give consent for the intercourse.”
Police have previously said that “some or all of the five people in this case” left South Gwinnett and went to the bus lot off Skyland Drive that day “for the purposes of doing drugs.”
