Gracie Darlington: 2 teens arrested in Chicago sex assault streamed online

Chicago police arrested two teenage boys for being apart of a group sexual assault on a girl that was live-streamed on Facebook live. Police are searching for as many as six total juvenile offenders who were in the video. The girl victim, who was reported missing after the assault, has received much online harassment throughout the course of the investigation, and police are making sure to protect her to the best of their ability. At least 40 people saw the live-stream, and zero reported anything.
