   Devontre Vann, 19, Deandray Artez Easley, 18, Vershone Jaquay Hodges, 20, and   
   a fourth person, a 16-year-old juvenile, were charged with a robbery and   
   sexual assault on Harriet Island in St. Paul.Ramsey County   
      
   Ramsey County Attorney John Choi on Thursday charged four young men for an   
   alleged armed robbery and rape of four teenagers.   
      
   The violent incident took place early Tuesday morning in downtown St. Paul on   
   Harriet Island. Vershone Jaquay Hodges, 20; Devontre Jordan Vann, 19; Deandray   
   Artez Easley, 18; and a 16-year-old, all face two counts of first-degree   
   criminal sexual assault,    
   four counts of first-degree aggravated robbery and two counts of kidnapping.   
      
   Three of the four men are known gang members, prosecutors say, and they'll try   
   charging the one minor as an adult.   
      
   "Despite the victims complying with their orders and handing over their   
   valuables, the perpetrators in this case forced the female victims into a car   
   and repeatedly raped them," Choi said in a statement.   
      
   From the criminal complaints:   
      
   The four victims, two of whom were dating, went to McDonald's and took their   
   drive-thru food to a parking lot on Harriet Island at about 11:15 p.m. Monday.   
      
   The alleged assailants then approached the group of 17 and 18 year olds as   
   they ate on the trunk of their vehicle. One of the male victims recognized the   
   16-year-old from school and playing basketball, and they talked to each other.   
      
   Then it turned violent. The 16-year-old pulled a gun and told a victim to   
   empty his pockets. The rest of the juvenile's group ran to the car. They then   
   ordered the victims to the ground as they searched their car.   
      
   They stole money, a purse and everyone's phones — even forcing the victims   
   at gunpoint to unlock their phones, and turn off applications that could allow   
   them to trace the stolen devices.   
      
   The assailants forced the male victims to strip to their underwear in the   
   parking lot.   
      
   The 16-year-old and another man who covered his face raped the female victims   
   and forced them to perform sexual acts.   
      
   Easley asked one of the victims if she consented to having sex, and she said   
   no. He apologized and said he didn't think the others would do that.   
      
   The 16-year-old told the other female victim to say she consented to sex if   
   Easley asked. So, when Easley asked her if she did consent, she lied and said   
   yes, thinking she wouldn't get hurt more.   
      
   When the assaults ended, someone threw the victims' car keys in the bushes,   
   where the assailants said they had someone else waiting. If the victims went   
   looking for the keys or for help before 1:28 a.m. Tuesday, they would be shot,   
   the assailants said.   
      
   The victims eventually found someone on the island to help them.
