Prosecutors Wednesday charged two La Crosse teens in a gang rape of two girls inside a South Side La Crosse garage.

One of the victims said as many as 11 males were involved in the assault at 814 S. 19th St., but Ronald Crosby Jr., 17, and Heavell Basley, 18, are the only people charged as adults in La Crosse County Circuit Court.

A 16-year-old said she and a 15-year-old were in Basley’s garage late Oct. 29 or early Oct. 30 with about 15 other people after the girls had run away from the Family & Children’s Center, according to the complaint.

She said the males raped and hit the 15-year-old before she intervened, the complaint stated.

The 16-year-old girl said she protested and was forced to perform oral sex on “a lot” of offenders until her throat bled. Several males then raped and hit her, according to the complaint.

She told authorities that Crosby forced her to perform oral sex on Oct. 31.

The 15-year-old victim, who suffered internal injuries, said she slipped into unconsciousness after she ingested a drug during forced oral sex before “a whole bunch of guys” raped her, according to the complaint.
