POLICE have now charged two more youths over the alleged rape of two tourists in Alice Springs.
The 17-year-old youths were caught yesterday, one in Alice Springs and the other in Hermannsburg, about 120km west of Alice Springs, the Northern Territory News reports.
Police this morning laid charges against them over Wednesday's shocking attack of two women, aged 21 and 28, who were asleep in their car at Mount Johns in Alice Springs when the vehicle was broken into and three men allegedly forced them to have sex.
Detective Acting Superintendent Travis Wurst said one of the youths was charged with sexual intercourse without consent, acts of gross indecency, deprivation of liberty, assault and threaten with a firearm along with numerous other offences.
He said the other youth has only been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, but that police expect to lay further charges as the investigation continues.
A third 17-year-old youth was charged yesterday and has made his first appearance in Alice Springs Magistrates Court on sexual assault charges over the attack.
