Teens Plead Guilty in Cell Phone Sex Assault
Court Alerts
[##_1L|1323765146.jpg|width="142" height="117" alt=""|_##]Two of five teens have pleaded guilty to their role in a group sex assault recorded on a cell phone. Sixteen-year-old Reginald Pope Junior of Detroit, and 19-year-old Robinson Brown of Clinton Township pleaded guilty yesterday before a Macomb County judge. They were charged in the rape of an eleven-year-old girl in Pope's basement bedroom of an Eastpointe home.
Prosecutors are recommending that Pope be placed on probation while Brown gets at least two and a-half years in prison. Both will be sentenced in July. Investigators say the girl wasn't threatened but she felt coerced into complying.
Prosecutors are in plea discussions with attorneys for the three other defendants.
