COOLBAUGH TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY- Police say they're investigating a case of gang rape.

Investigators say a minor came forward Monday reporting she had been raped several times by several men late Sunday night, continuing into early Monday morning.

Police have arrested and charged a 17-year-old male as an adult, though they're not releasing his name or mugshot at this time.

Detective say more arrests are expected and for that reason, they're keeping many of the incident's details quiet.

The alleged victim told police she was sexually assaulted at 5008 Trafalgar Road in the Pocono Farms East community. She also alleges a second minor was sexually assaulted by the same group of men.

The unidentified 17-year-old suspect is being held on $250,000 cash bail.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 15.
