Imanuel Rizig, 17; Ryan Jeng, 17; and Justin Broadway, 18, are all charged with aggravated kidnapping.

Records indicate the girl was leaving lunch when she was approached from behind by a black male student.



The female student said she was grabbed by the wrist and he told her to come with him. She said she tried to pull away, but he was too strong.

He then allegedly pulled her outside and threw her into a black four-door vehicle and locked the doors.



Three other men got inside and drove her to a neighborhood near Walker Elementary School, records show. Once there, one of the men is accused of grabbing her and pulling her into the house.

She was taken to a bedroom, and then the man who allegedly took her from the school asked her if she wanted to have sex.

When she said "no," and that she wanted to return to school, the man left the room. She looked for her purse and found it in another room where two other men were.

When she grabbed her purse, she claims one of the students pushed her onto the bed. When one of them asked her to have sex, she claims she again said she didn't want to, records show.

She says she left the room, and managed to get out of the house, walking to nearby Walker Elementary School, where she asked staff to call 911.



Police say the girl did not know any of the suspects, but only recognized them from lunch in the cafeteria at Cypress Springs High School.

Records show police found video of the girl being abducted and others saw the abduction outside the building.

Police say they interviewed several students at the school, including those accused in the alleged abduction. Records show one student recalls driving the girl to the house, but disputes the sexual nature of the incident, saying there was no mention of sex.

Another student allegedly involved in the incident said he heard others discussing "flipping" the girl involved in this case. "Flipping" means having sex with someone and then passing her to another person to have sex.



Another one of the students accused claims the girl said at lunch she would have sex with at least one of them, but then rescinded the offer at the house.

Records note there is no video of the girl speaking with any of the men involved during lunch.

Court records state, "(The girl) was abducted from Cypress Spring High School...and taken...against her own free will. While at the location, (she was) terrorized through fear of being sexually assaulted."

Rizig, Jeng, and Broadway are all in jail, being held on $30,000 bond. Rizig is due in court on December 8. Jeng is due in court on January 18. Broadway's first court date is January 27.

The stepdad of the victim confirmed that she is in class today.
