WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A 14-year-old boy has confessed to being among the masked teens who gang-raped a woman at gunpoint and assaulted her son in their West Palm Beach home, police said.

Investigators said Avion Lawson admitted to the crime shortly after he was arrested Tuesday afternoon.

Lawson was linked to the crime after police said they matched DNA evidence found on a condom in the victim's home to the teen.

Lawson has been charged with two counts of armed sexual battery by multiple perpetrators along with two counts of armed home invasion. He made his first appearence in court Wednesday.

Police told WPBF News 25 that the June 18 attack in Dunbar Village was a brutal and horrific incident.

"This was a very horrific crime. Even our investigators who've been here 25 years are visibly shaken," said Ted White of the West Palm Beach Police Department.

According to police reports, a young man tricked the victim into opening the door of her home after he told them that the tires on his vehicle were flat.

Police said the woman and her son were then ambushed by three masked teens carrying weapons, who pushed the two back into the home.

Investigators said seven other teens entered the home and demanded money while seperating the two victims into different bedrooms.

According to police reports, the mother was then raped and beaten by the 10 teens.

Police said the victim's preteen son had a plate smashed over his head and numerous household liquids poured into his eyes. Investigators said the boy was also forced at gunpoint to participate in the sexual assault.

The invaders eventually fled the scene after more than 20 minutes inside of the victim's home, police told WPBF.

Police said the attackers attempted to remove DNA evidence with household cleaning agents.

Following the attack, police said the woman and her son walked a mile to the hospital.

Police hope to arrest nine other teens who participated in the attack. Investigators said they believe all involved in the attack were between 14 and 18 years old.

Yep! Over indulged, self-pitying, greedy, discompassionate, indifferent youth of today.

The US and the UK are producing this kind of youth - and they are our future!! :eek:

One of his friends will probably wonder why he punches them in the face if they ever drop "motherfucker" into the conversation...

Depends if you define "Arriving at the simple conclusion that someone who's suffered a trauma might have some word association issues in the future", and my lack of pointing out the obvious about the negativity of the situation which speaks in volumes for itself, as on about, or not?

I think you're confused.

Get your head outta your ass!!

You First.

Regardless as to how you justify with your response above, your original statement was rather glib.

And to tell me to shut up was obnoxious - so, I repeat, get your (own) head outta ya (own) ass.
