    Prosecutors Seek Retrial for Gang Rape of 16-Year-Old Girl

    DateWednesday, June 30, 2004 at 2:27PM

    Prosecutors announced Tuesday that they plan to retry an assistant sheriff's son and two other teens accused of gang raping a 16-year-old girl.

    A mistrial in the case was declared Monday after jurors told Judge Francisco Briseno they were "hopelessly deadlocked" on every count.

    Gregory Haidl, 18, and Kyle Nachreiner and Keith Spann, both 19, were charged with 24 counts, including rape by intoxication or force and assault with a deadly weapon, a pool cue. They face up to 55 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

    Prosecutors say the girl was drugged and raped by the three, who videotaped the assault. Defense attorneys say the sex was consensual.
