Police have taken all six into custody, with the five minor accused being sent to the Dongri Children's Observation Home. The 27-year-old accused has been arrested.

According to the complaint filed by the victim's mother, a 17-year-old accused first befriended the victim and On October 1, he took her to the house of the 27-year-old arrested accused, where the group allegedly committed the sexual assault and filmed it.
