Seven suspects were arrested during a raid last week, including a 13-year-old who was charged as an adult for serious crimes.
Investigators say two suspects brutally beat a teen before three other suspects sexually assaulted the victim at the home.
“The grandmother was arrested as well. It was her house, so she knew what was going on there but basically turned a blind eye to it,” said Jordan Yuodis, public information officer for the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office.
