Gilroy, California - The Mercury News has reported that two homeless men, one 49, the other 29, are accused of robbing and raping a 13 year old girl. The three allegedly met at Christmas Hill Park on Wednesday evening.

Police say that the men gave the teenager intoxicants. Then they sexually assaulted her several times. The girl managed to escape and get help.

She later identified the suspects, one of whom was found with the girl's property.

Both men are currently being held in the Santa Clara County Jail. If convicted of the charges they now face, they could receive a life-sentence.

This is not the first time in recent history that a California teenage girl has been assaulted after receiving drugs or alcohol from older men.

Many believe that alcohol and other drugs should be strongly associated with sexual assault, and that young women should be told from an early age that when an older man gives you alcohol or drugs, he is typically after nothing good.

The victim was treated at a medical facility. People across the nation hope she is doing well and recovers quickly.
