Six Texas men are facing more than 1,600 years in prison each after being accused of gang raping a 15-year-old high school student after she skipped class earlier this year.

A grand jury in Waco, Texas, on Wednesday indicted Devoric Javon Evans, 20; Lamont Tray Davis, 19; Day’tron Derrell Smith, 18; Da’Juan Oshea Degrate, 18; and Cory Darnell Hall, 18; and Douglas Demond Canada, 19.



Police say Canada and Degrate convinced the teen to cut class at Waco High School, where all three are students on April 23.

The Waco Tribune-Herald reports that when the girl arrived at the home where they were planning to 'hang out,' four other men were there.

'She went with a couple of boys she thought she knew, and then a bad situation became much worse,' Waco police Sergeant Patrick Swanton told the newspaper.

When the girl arrived, the men allegedly asked her if she was 'freaky.'

Cananda began by raping the girl in the bathroom, according to authorities.

Hall told police he heard the girl telling Canada to stop and he refused.



According to court, documents, she told police: 'I told him to stop, but he wouldn’t.

'Acting in concert': The potential penalties for the charges is multiplied dramatically because each of the suspects is accused of acting in concert with the others. Pictured: Lamont Tray Davis, 19 (left) and Devoric Javon Evans, 20 (right)



'Then he walked me out to the bedroom and the other boys were there. They all had sex with me one at a time.'

Canada is charged with 13 counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and three counts of sexual assault of a child.

The other five are each charged with 13 counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of sexual assault of a child.

Together each man faces more than 1,300 years in prison.



The steep sentence is because the men were indicted of 'acting in concert' which each other - making each one responsible for the other's crimes.

The horrific case is the second Texas gang rape in recent years to draw national headlines.



In 2010, an 11-year-old girl in the tiny town of Cleveland, Texas, was repeatedly raped by 21 men and teenagers in a squalid trailer. The suspects who pleaded guilty received sentences between 7 and 15 years. Two men who took the case to trail were given 99-year terms behind bars.
