A judge on Wednesday ordered three men to stand trial on charges they raped a 13-year-old Lawrence girl last month at an apartment in the 1300 block of Tennessee Street.

The girl testified during a preliminary hearing Wednesday that she remembered all three of the men — two Lawrence men, ages 18 and 27, and an 18-year-old Tonganoxie man — having sex with her while she was intoxicated and drifting in and out of consciousness.

A fourth suspect — who was a juvenile at the time but since has turned 18 — is charged with rape and furnishing alcohol to a minor.

“I basically blamed myself for it,” the girl testified Wednesday.

According to Kansas law, sex with a child under 14 is classified as rape.

“Whether they knew her age before or after is inconsequential,” Deputy Dist. Atty. Shelley Diehl said.

The incidents happened early on the morning of June 14 in the living room of the home of the fourth suspect, whose mother was home at the time but sleeping in another room, according to the girl’s testimony.

The girl testified that she lived close to the apartment but didn’t have permission from her mother to be out that night. About 1:30 a.m., she said, the men offered her shots of hard liquor, as well as gin mixed with fruit juice, and she soon was vomiting.

She said she remembered that the men began having sex with her after the sun came up, but defense attorneys tried to challenge her recollection of events. They asked detailed questions about, among other factors, the types of glasses from which she drank and in what order the men had sex with her.

“I saw them. I know he was on me,” she said about one of the men.

Lawrence Police Detective Lance Flachsbarth, who interviewed one of the suspects after the girl reported the incident to police, said the suspect told him the girl agreed to have sex with the men if they had condoms. He testified the suspect told him that all the other men were in the room watching as they had sex.

Defense attorneys for the adult suspects told Judge Paula Martin they planned to challenge at upcoming hearings whether their clients knowingly and voluntarily waived the right to remain silent.

The Journal-World generally does not disclose the names of suspects in sex crimes unless they are convicted.
