Two men were sentenced to two years probation today for raping a 14-year-old girl. Tony Pacheco (left), 17 at the time of the 2006 crime, and Angel Alverio (right), then 18, pleaded guilty yesterday to one count each of aggravated battery and criminal sexual abuse. The were sentenced to 24 months probation and both have to register as sex offenders for 10 years.

From an NBC 5 story from August, 2006:

After Alverio and Pacheco allegedly made contact with the victim through MySpace...they arranged a July 24 meeting. They then drove her to a house in the 4800 block of West Walton, the home of a 15-year-old boy, [assistant state's attorney John] Henning said.

At the boy's home, they "drank alcohol and played video games," Henning said. Chicago Police Officer JoAnn Taylor said the group consumed "a large amount of alcohol."

The girl "became ill, and that is when she was sexually assaulted multiple times by the offenders," Taylor said.

After the drinking, the girl passed out. When she awoke, Pacheco allegedly was having sex with her, according to Henning. She passed out again and woke up to find the 15-year-old having sex with her. After losing consciousness a third time, the girl awoke to find Alverio attempting to receive oral sex from her, Henning said.

The next thing she knew, the 14-year-old woke up in an alley about two miles away at 3253 W. North, where a passerby found her around 3 p.m., Taylor said. The girl was treated at Norwegian American Hospital and released.

The then-15-year-old also pleaded guilty. [S-T]
