Seven teenagers, including a 15-year-old girl, were charged this morning with the beating and robbery of a 17-year-old high school senior that was captured on video and posted on the Internet.
Only one of the teens, Raymond Palomino, 17, of the 3500 block of South Hoyne Avenue, was charged as an adult, with one count of robbery and one count of aggravated battery for the attack that has gone viral on YouTube.
The remaining teens, two 16-year-old boys, three 15-year-old boys and the girl were all cited in juvenile delinquency petitions on the same charges, police said. Their identities were not made public because they are juveniles. Police said one of the teens lives in Arlington Heights, the rest in Chicago.
Police didn't say what the girl's role was in the attack.
