One man was taken into police custody while a search was still ongoing yesterday for his alleged accomplice in the rape of a pregnant teen in Region Seven.

According to the Guyana Police Force, the 17-year-old victim was approached by the two, who were in a car, and they took her against her will to the home of one of the perpetrators. It was there that they allegedly took turns raping her while they each videoed the ordeal.
