5th teen charged in alleged gang rape at N.Y. playground
New York (CNN)A fifth teenager has been charged as an adult in connection with a woman's alleged gang rape in a Brooklyn playground, and police are not looking for any more suspects.
Travis Beckford, 17, of Brooklyn, was arrested Tuesday morning, Robert Boyce, chief of detectives for the New York Police Department, told reporters. "He is the fifth person that we have arrested in this case, and we believe he's the final person," Boyce said.
Beckford, like four other teens arrested earlier, has been charged as an adult with rape, committing a criminal sex act and sex abuse, the NYPD said.
The four other teens, police said, are Denzel Murray, 14; Shaquell Cooper, 15; Ethan Phillip, 15; and Onandi Brown, 17. All have Brooklyn addresses.
