ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. -- Three New Jersey teenagers are accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year old girl, and another teen is accused of filming the incident.

Elmwood Park police arrested Justin Draper, Ashari Wilson and Craig Howe, who are all 18, along with a 17-year old boy.

Authorities say three of the suspects assaulted the girl while she was intoxicated.

Police say another teenager recorded the incident on his phone and showed the video to others.

All four of the suspects are facing charges.

Wilson is also charged with manufacturing child pornography.

The prosecutor's office says the assault took place in June behind the home where Draper and Howe live. The girl was later found unconscious by her parents on the front lawn of her home.

A friend later told the girl she had seen a video of her engaging in sex.

The adults remain held on bail.
