The six boys implicated in the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in Portmore, St. Catherine, were offered bail when they appeared in the Children's Court on Monday.
 
They are to return to court on February 25, next year.
 
The teens were charged last Wednesday after they were pointed out during an ID parade.
 
They have been charged with rape, conspiracy to rape, abduction, unlawful detention to commit sexual intercourse, knowingly producing child pornography, distribution of child pornography and assault occasioning bodily harm.
 
Investigators reported that sometime in October, the 13-year-old was lured to a house in Portsmouth, Portmore, where she was assaulted by the group of boys.
 
The issue came to public knowledge recently when a video of the incident went viral.
