Officials charge 11 men in casi
of woman claiming gang rape
SAN DIEGO, Texas (AP) —
Charges have been Filed against 11
men after a 19-year-old woman told
police she was raped repeatedly by a
group of men who urged onlookers
at a ranch to join in, authorities said
Thursday.
In an account that stunned this
quiet community, the woman told
authorities that a group of men ab
ducted her half a bldck away from
her home, took her to a ranch north
of town, raped her and urged others
attending an illegal cockfight to join
in. She said she knew some of her as
sailants.
“Everybody’s a little shocked and
outraged by it,” assistant district at
torney Rodolfo V. Gutierrez said.
Authorities believe the woman,
who has two children, was stripped
naked and raped repeatedly for sev
eral hours in the backseat of a car,
said Ricardo Carrillo, a Duval
County assistant district attorney.
Carrillo said some of the men
watching the cock fights inside a
nearby shed heard the women’s cries
for help, but did nothing, while oth
ers joined in the sexual assault.
“Some were holding her by the
legs and by the arms, and some were
covering her eyes and mouth,” Car
rillo said.
Seven men have been charged
with sexual assault, three have been
charged with sexual assault and kid
napping and one has been charged
only with kidnapping, Justice of the
Peace Amado Garcia Jr. said.
Officials say 20 to 30 men were at
the ranch.
“A lot of people were present that
did not participate, didn’t assault
her, but at the same time they didn’t
do anything to help her or do any
thing to stop the other people from
assaulting her,” Gutierrez said.
“Even though legally they may not
be responsible, morally they didn’t
do anything to try and prevent this
from happening or to stop it once it
started.”
Carrillo said the woman was walk
ing home from her uncle’s house,
about one-half block away, at about
11 p.m. Saturday when several men
forced her into a car and took her to
the ranch where the assaults took
place.
“Some of them we’ve brought in
have admitted it,” Carrillo said.
“Some are not talking.”
He said the woman knew some of
her assailants and identified others,
but she said some covered their faces
while attacking her.
The woman reported returning
home early Sunday morning after
four men had taken her to another
location, raped her again and then
dropped her off somewhere near
her home, Carrillo said.
The woman’s husband had been
looking for her all night, he added.
She was treated at Humana Hos
pital in Corpus Christi and released
earlier this week, authorities said.
People in the remote South Texas
town of about 5,000 are frightened
by the incident, said a 44-year-old
San Diego woman, who says she will
keep a closer watch on her three
daughters.
“You expect something like this to
happen in Corpus or San Antonio or
Defense Department awards
$48 million job to Austin firm
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — An
Austin company has been awarded
$48,335 million contract to begin the
first phase of construction for Naval
Station Ingleside, Defense Depart
ment officials say.
The facility will serve as home
port for five U.S. Navy ships.
Vic McNallie, vice president of
Clearwater Constructors Inc. of
Austin, said the announcement will
mean more than 500 jobs for crafts
men in the area. Construction is ex
pected to take about 2‘A years.
The pact includes construction of
a berthing pier, a wharf, utilities and
site improvements at Ingleside
Point.
Clearwater Constructors was the
second-lowest bidder last year with a
bid of $51.6 million. The company, a
division of Phelps Inc. of Greeley,
Colo., was established in 1972.
‘We’re really proud that we’re
fu
going to be the first contractor to
work on the Ingleside site for the
Navy,” McNallie said. He said con
struction at the site will not begin for
at least 60 days.
This week, the General Account
ing Office ruled the Navy had the
right to disqualify six bids opened
Dec. 15 and reopen the bidding
process.
The GAO ruling turned down bid
protests by Metric Constructors of
Charlotte, N.C., and H.B. Zachry
Co. of San Antonio.
The federal agency, in denying
the bid protests, ruled against Met
ric’s contention that the bidding
E rocess would become an “auction”
ecause the amount of Metric’s pre
vious low bid of $51.3 million had
been publicized.
The ruling cleared the way for the

“People have a right to protest
bids, but I’m delighted that the con
troversy is behind us, that a contract
has been let and that we will be be
ginning construction very shortly,”
said Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. “It’s
a good thing for Texas that we’re
moving ahead.”
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, said
awarding the contract now would
save money, because the cost of steel
to the Navy is expected to go up for
contracts awarded after April 1.
Last year, Congress approved
$38.8 million to begin construction
at Ingleside. In addition to federal
funds, state and local funds will pay
for part of Homeport’s initial con
struction costs.
