What is the matter with kids these days? These boys really need to learn that no means no.

This story is especially disturbing because it includes all kinds of sexual assault, including the back door kind and even breast biting!

A Rockland Family Court judge said she will decide today whether four boys are guilty of gang-raping a then-14-year-old girl and attempting to rape a then-12-year-old girl over a three-day period in June at a Chestnut Ridge house.

Judge Sherri Eisenpress heard closing statements Thursday from the prosecutor and four defense attorneys after a 12-year-old boy testified the sex was consensual. It was the final day of the fact-finding hearing in Rockland County Courthouse in New City.

Rey Jey Alexis’ testimony contradicted statements given to police by several of the other boys. They described taking turns raping the older girl twice in one day, trying to rape a younger girl and how Alexis took part and had sex with the older girl, at one point using lotion as a lubricant.

Alexis, 12, and 13-year-olds Kensley St. Fleur, Guerson Bellevue and Jerry Jean-Baptiste are charged with first-degree rape, first-degree attempted rape, first-degree sexual abuse and criminal sex act. They are accused of raping the 14-year-old and sexually attacking a 12-year-old girl from June 11 to 13.

Prosecutor Elizabeth Di Stefano called the sexual abuse “violent” and “horrific” as she read admissions of rape, attempted rape and sexual abuse such as breast biting from the statements the four boys gave to Ramapo police and the testimony of the two girls.

When questioned Thursday morning by his lawyer, David Goldstein, Alexis described his role as more passive than the other three boys and contradicted the girls’ testimony. At times, Alexis said, he listened to music on the computer or was in other rooms when the boys started trying to have sex with the girl.

Under cross-examination from prosecutor Barbara Wilmit, Alexis admitted he and the other boys went to the house at least three times to have sex with the girl.

“We had sexual contact with her the day before (June 11) and wanted to do it again,” Alexis said.

The girl, now 15, had testified they held her down during the morning and afternoon of June 12 and raped her anally.

Alexis said he tried to have sex with the girl on the afternoon of June 12 because he didn’t want to be the only boy not to have sex with her, but denied penetrating her. He wasn’t sure whether the other boys penetrated her, saying he saw their private parts go up against her buttocks.

“I didn’t want to be a punk,” he said. “I didn’t want to seem like anyone who didn’t do it. It was consensual. I swear on everything I love. She was even laughing.”

Prosecutors said anal contact was needed to sustain the rape charge.

Wilmit’s questions drew contradictory responses about the events of June 12 and 13 from Alexis involving the older girl. He denied they went looking for the older girl inside the house on the afternoon of June 12, though St. Fleur told police they searched the house and found her hiding under her parents’ bed.

“I don’t know what Kensley said,” Alexis responded to Wilmit.

Wilmit told Alexis he testified that the girl never screamed or refused to have sex. She pointed out his “friend” St. Fleur told police that he and Alexis were holding down the girl. At one point, St. Fleur told police “Kelly pulled her pants down” and had “backdoor” sex with her.

“He would be mistaken about that,” Wilmit asked Alexis about St. Fleur’s statement. “Is that your testimony?”

Alexis said, “Yes.”

On June 13, the boys then allegedly went after the younger girl, who fought them off.

Goldstein said the prosecution did not use a medical witness to counter a sexual assault forensic nurse testifying Wednesday that she found no visible injuries on the 14-year-old girl.

The boys are on home detention. If found guilty, the older boys could be held in a juvenile detention center for three years, with yearly reviews, depending on their behavior. They could stay incarcerated until they are 18. Alexis faces an initial sentence of 18 months, but could be kept longer.

The boys stopped to take a bus to school to take a test, but they came back for more later! SMH.

The younger of the two girls said they didn’t initially call police because they didn’t want their parents to get in trouble for leaving them unsupervised…
