High schoolers charged: Henry Sanchez, 18 (pictured) and Jose Montano, 17, have been charged with raping a 14-year-old female classmate at a Maryland high school bathroom

Police in Maryland have arrested two male high school students who are suspected of raping a 14-year-old girl in a bathroom during school hours.

Montgomery County Police announced the arrests on Friday, saying that the assault happened the day before at Rockville High School.

According to investigators, the victim was walking in a school hallway at around 9am when she ran into Jose Montano, 17, and Henry Sanchez, 18.

Montano asked the freshman to walk with them and to have sex, but the girl turned them down, according to a press release from the Montgomery County Police Department.

The 17-year-old boy repeated his request, then forced her into a boys’ bathroom and into a stall, where he and Sanchez proceeded to rape her, police said.

The 14-year-old girl later reported the alleged attack to school officials, who immediately called the authorities.

Investigators with the Special Victims Division arrested Motano and Sanchez on campus that same day on charges of first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sexual offense.

Montano is charged as an adult, but police have not released his booking photo.

Alleged attack took place inside a boys' bathroom at Rockville High School during school hours

On Friday, Rockville High School sent a letter to parents addressing the incident and the arrests, according to WUSA.

'Ensuring a safe, secure and welcoming learning environment for all of our students is our top priority. Our staff remains vigilant in the monitoring of our school each and every day,' the note said in part.

Gboyinde Onijala, a spokeswoman for the Montgomery County Public Schools, said that staff at Rockville High will increase monitoring of the hallways and bathrooms. The school has one school resource officer.

During a court hearing Friday, a judge ordered both Montano and Sanchez held without bond.
