RICHMOND, Calif. (KCBS/AP) - Police have released a recording of the 911 call by a girl who reported sightings of a drunken, naked female student on the Richmond High School campus.
The Oct. 24 call appears to be the first report to authorities about the brutal gang rape during the school's homecoming dance.
A shaken young woman, who identified herself as "Maggie," told the operator that the naked teen was spotted lying in a darkened courtyard. She said she hadn't seen the victim herself, but students who saw her didn't want to "call the cops, so we decided to call."
Officers found the victim semi-conscious and brought her to the hospital. Police initially said she was 15, but corrected that Thursday to 16.
Six suspects have been arrested in the gang rape. One has pleaded not guilty, and five other have not entered pleas in the case.

The young woman knew at least one of the men who has been arrested - and it was somebody she reportedly considered a friend.
She continues to receive support from people from all over the world.
