MANHATTAN — Two more teens were arrested and charged with attempted rape and robbery Tuesday in connection with the sexual assault of a 23-year-old woman in Central Park Sunday.
A Brooklyn teen, Robert Gonzalez, 18, was arrested on the same charges on Monday.
The two other teens were identified by the NYPD as Shawn Martinez and Kelvin Dalrymple, both 18.
Prosecutors said Gonzalez sodomized the woman during the attack early Sunday morning and forced oral sex on her. His lawyer, James Koenig, said Gonzalez turned himself in to police.
"Once all the facts are laid out I believe that nothing forcible will be proven in this case," Koenig said.
Gonzalez is being held on $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash bail.
Martinez and Dalrymple turned themselves in Tuesday, the day after Gonzalez's arrest.
Police were able to identify the suspects quickly after recovering surveillance video of three suspects entering a convenience store close to where the alleged incident occurred.
Residents of the neighborhood said the area is often deserted in early-morning hours.
"This is not an area that has a lot of people at night, so you have to have some common sense," said Carol Hochhauser, 62, who said she lives about two blocks from where the attack allegedly occurred.
"I wouldn't be out by myself at that hour."
Camy Becker, 24, works in the neighborhood and expressed alarm that such a crime could occur there. She said she avoids public transportation late at night and in the early-morning hours.
"That's pretty scary. You would think this is a pretty nice area," Becker said Monday afternoon as she waited at a bus stop at 86th Street and Fifth Avenue.
