RICHMOND, Calif. (KCBS) -- Four of the six people who have been arrested in connection with last month's gang rape in Richmond are scheduled to spend Thursday afternoon in court. They will be assigned attorneys, enter pleas, or be arraigned.

The most horrific part of the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl at Richmond High School may have been the fact that so many witnesses did nothing to stop it.
But some neighborhood residents took action when they heard of the attack.
Just a few blocks away from the school, Raul Rubio was hanging out with friends when a group of guys came by and said the victim was naked and drunk at the school.

Rubio decided to act, telling his brother's girlfriend to call police as soon as she could.
"At least those six got caught. If there was more dudes in there, they're going to have a guilty conscience and whatever goes around comes around," Rubio said. "So they might get it later on or something."
Rubio said when the group approached him and told them what what happening, he thought it was a joke.
"How could they do something like that and not think of their own sisters, their own cousins," said Rubio.
The six suspects range in age from 15 to 21 and could face life in prison if convicted of the felony charges. Three of them are juveniles.
Rubio said the lights remain on all night now on the north side of the campus, the site of the sexual assault.
