-The Morning News w/ Trisha Morgan-
We're continuing our coverage of a story we first broke last night.
Several members of the Vipers MC, a local motorcycle club with some national ties are now under arrest for the assault and rape of a Woman found on a vacant lot the other night. The victim is currently under Police guard and in guarded condition at an unnamed hospital for her protection. She was found beaten and raped in a vacant lot not far from the Viper MC clubhouse.
5 members of the Viper MC including the chapter President, Vice President and 3 others are currently being processed by LAPD as well as the LA Sheriffs Office. We were able to catch up to Sheriff McCloud earlier today. They were all picked up without incident earlier today.
Can you give us any updates at this time?
The suspects are all being charged with 2nd Degree Assault, Kidnapping, and Rape. We're also exploring other charges as drugs were found in her system. We are also charging two members on weapon and drug charges for items found on them at the time of arrest.
Has the victim identified her assailants?
At this time, the victim has not woken up fully. She's been in and out of consciousness on painkillers while recovering. We made our identification by DNA evidence found on her when she was found. Our technical teams have been working around the clock since she was found to help identify her assailants.
Can you give us anymore information at this time?
We are not commenting any further at this time until our investigation is concluded. As far as the LAPD and Sheriff's office is concerned, this is still very much an investigation in progress.
