TAMPA — Students said they heard him scream.

One told investigators the 13-year-old boy fought back, yelled for his attackers to stop and fell to the ground in a defensive position.

Those details emerged Wednesday as four Walker Middle School classmates faced a judge, accused of raping a teammate multiple times with a broom handle and a hockey stick in the school locker room.

Assistant State Attorney Kimberly Hindman outlined the state's case against the four as prosecutors brought adult charges of four counts of sexual battery against each of the juveniles.

She said the state will present evidence that the youngster endured a two-month reign of terror, apparently in silence.

Neither the victim nor witnesses told anyone in authority. And the attackers kept after the 13-year-old, taunting him repeatedly in school hallways: "We're going to get you today," the victim said he was told.


Hindman said the attacks involved penetration and called them "an intentional terroristic act where the victim was held down."

The suspects' relatives say they don't believe their children could do such a thing.

When juveniles are charged as adults and booked into adult jail, they are kept separate from adults and wear orange vests to designate their status.
