YOUNGSTOWN

Police are looking for two men who held a 17-year-old girl in an abandoned South Side home and repeatedly sexually assaulted her.

According to police reports, the girl was walking along Midlothian Boulevard near Market Street on Sunday afternoon when she noticed two black males following her. The girl told police she quickened her pace and pretended to be on her cellphone, but the men caught up to her and forced her into a boarded up home on Hillman Street.

Reports say both men took turns sexually assaulting the girl while inside the house. The girl told police the men held her captive in the house over the course of a day and repeatedly assaulted her.

Both men, the girl said, left the home Tuesday allowing her to flee. She was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center for treatment.
