Two men were arrested, and as many as 10 may have been involved in the rape, police say. Most of the men are football players at Fresno City College or Reedly College.
The victim, a runaway from a group home, went to a Fresno apartment complex Saturday night to visit an acquaintance, said police spokesman Jeff Cardinale. While she was inside one of the units, she allegedly was sexually assaulted multiple times by several men.
The girl then fled the apartment and sought help from a couple on the street who called police.
The victim, who suffered no serious physical injuries, was taken to University Medical Center for an examination. (Source: AP)
This comes on the heels of the high-profile rape case involving the Duke University lacrosse team. Is there something about the environment for college athletes that leads to this type of detestable behavior?

Years of repression tied with an environment of super ambition and pressure can lead to some awful things. No excuses, just awful.
