Three 17-year-old boys are in custody following the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl in Midrand last Sunday. The teenagers are set to face rape charges in the Randburg magistrate's court this Thursday.

 The incident unfolded at a party in Midrand, where the victim was reportedly assaulted. The case was brought to the attention of the police on Monday, prompting the family violence, child protection, and sexual offences unit to assist the victim. Despite their efforts, law enforcement was initially unable to locate the suspects at known addresses, as explained by police spokesperson Lt-Col Mavela Masondo.

 On Wednesday, police apprehended one of the suspects at his residence in Johannesburg, while the remaining two voluntarily surrendered themselves to the authorities at the Midrand police station. The legal proceedings are expected to unfold in the coming days as the three teenagers face charges related to the alleged rape incident.
