Two Permian High School students were arrested Friday after two 15-year-old girls accused them of rape.
According to Odessa Police Department reports, the girls separately told forensic interviewers they left school with two unknown boys Sept. 25 and went to a home on West 31st Street where they began to drink alcohol.
One of the girls said a boy who introduced himself as “Jacob” followed her into the bathroom, pulled down her pants and underwear while she was vomiting and sexually assaulted her, the report stated.
She later positively identified the boy as Jacob Alikarim Espinoza, the report stated.
The other girl said that while they were all drinking, a boy who introduced himself as “Jaren” tried to force himself on her and she had to fight him off, the report stated.
As some point, the girl said she blacked out due to the alcohol and the next day realized she was missing a pair of underwear, the report stated. A forensic medical exam confirmed she had suffered recent trauma.
The girl identified Adrian Rodriguez as Jaren and both girls identified Rodriguez and Espinoza as the boys they left school with, the report stated.
Rodriguez and Espinoza were arrested on warrants for sexual assault of a child, second-degree felonies.
Rodriguez was released from the Ector County jail Sunday after posting a $35,000 surety bond. Espinoza remained in custody Monday night. His bond was also set at $35,000.
