The arrest affidavit states the group was partying in the backyard of the house, and alcohol and marijuana were involved. The victim told police she planned to have consensual sex with one of the boys when the others sexually assaulted her.

The assault allegedly ended when the mother of one of the suspects yelled for him to come inside for the night. The suspects range in age from 15 to 19, and all attend Englewood public schools.

Police are not releasing the names of the others arrested because they are juveniles. As the only adult in the group, Hill now faces several charges, ranging from sexual assault on a child to sexual exploitation of a child with intent to sell or publish.

Police believe a total of six males were involved in this alleged sex assault. At this time only five have been arrested. Police are still searching for the sixth.
