PAWTUCKET - A 17-year-old Attleboro girl was allegedly drugged and raped by three men in Pawtucket, one of whom she met on the MySpace Web site, after arranging to meet them at Emerald Square mall in North Attleboro, Pawtucket police said Monday.

Two of the suspects are being held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institution in Cranston, R.I., and the third is being held as a fugitive in a Maine jail after allegedly trying to flee to Canada, Pawtucket Detective Maj. John Whiting said.

All three suspects face charges of first-degree sexual assault in Rhode Island.

It was the second incident in less than a week involving an area teenage girl meeting older men on the MySpace Web site.

In the latest case, the girl initially communicated through MySpace with one of the suspects, Henry Duah, 20, of 72 Reservoir Ave., Pawtucket, in July and later met twice with him and went to house parties without incident, Whiting said. The girl then arranged for Duah to pick her up at the mall in North Attleboro on Dec. 30, Whiting said. When Duah showed up, he was accompanied by two friends who called themselves "G Money" and "J Mob," Whiting said.

The group traveled to Pawtucket where they bought alcohol at a liquor store and made some other stops at homes in Pawtucket before ending up at a house where the alleged rape occurred, Whiting said.

The girl was given an open wine cooler bottle to drink while the men were drinking some other type of alcohol.

At one point, the girl offered her wine cooler to one of the men but he declined to drink it, Whiting said.

At some point the girl became "woozy" and fell unconscious and then regained consciousness over a period of time before she was driven back to a friend's house, Whiting said.

The incident was reported to Pawtucket police last Thursday but the girl obtained treatment at Morton Hospital in Taunton after the incident, Whiting said.

Duah and "G Money," identified as Gabriel Clarke, 21, of 360 Mineral Spring Ave., Pawtucket, were arrested at the Pawtucket police station after an investigation by detectives Ray Doran and Sgt. Roberto DaSilva.

Whiting said the third suspect, "J Mob," identified as Jack Appiah, 26, of 291 Walcott St., Pawtucket, was arrested in Calais, Maine, allegedly after trying to enter Canada with identification papers purporting him to be of Haitian decent.

Appiah, who was wanted on a Pawtucket arrest warrant for the alleged rape, fled from U.S. Border Patrol agents after Canadian authorities denied him entry into the country and was apprehended eight hours later, Whiting said.

He is being held without bail at the Washington County Jail in Machias, Maine. The incident is the second in a week involving young girls who meet men after communicating with them online through MySpace, a popular social networking Web site.

"It's a parent's worst nightmare," said Whiting, who has two daughters ages 16 and 19.

The Internet poses a challenge for parents trying to keep tabs on their children who are often preyed upon by men with ulterior motives, authorities say.

"These kids think that they're meeting these guys and that they are harmless," Whiting said of the two recent incidents. "But that's not so."

Last Friday, North Attleboro police arrested Richard Acquaye, a 33-year-old Worcester man, who allegedly raped a 14-year-old North Attleboro girl he met on MySpace and had contact with over the course of a year.
