  • BOWLING GREEN — Four men accused of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl and her 14-year-old sister at a local hotel were indicted Thursday by a Wood County grand jury.

    Juan Adiel Garcias Rios, 19, was indicted on three counts of kidnapping, four counts of rape, and four counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor for the incidents at an East Wooster Street hotel, which occurred between June 25 and 28, according to the indictment.

    Arnulfo Ramos, whose age is unknown, and David Ramos Contreras, 28, both were indicted on two counts each of kidnapping, rape, and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, while Simon Thomas Simon Juan, 24, was indicted on one count each of kidnapping and gross sexual imposition.

    Bowling Green police said they were called to Wood County Hospital just before 11 p.m. June 28 on a report of two sisters who said they had been sexually assaulted. The teens told police they were staying at a hotel with their mother when they were held against their will and raped.

    The incident occurred at the Days Inn where the men were staying for work, Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson said. 

    U.S. Marshals later arrested Mr. Ramos Contreras in Lubbock, Texas. Mr. Simon Juan was arrested shortly after the incident and is scheduled to be arraigned July 20 before Wood County Common Pleas Judge Matthew Reger. The other two men are still at-large.
