Overview
- An Arthur hearing on Monday ended with 12-year-old Jusiah Jones on house arrest and 13-year-old Nelson Nunez held without bond.
- Under the order, Jones must wear an ankle monitor, avoid all contact with the girl, stay off social media, and attend school online.
- Prosecutors say Jones helped restrain the girl and put rocks in her mouth as Nunez raped her, while Jones’s lawyer says other boys forced him to take part.
- The state says it will arrest 15-year-old Xavier Tyson after a public defender conflict stalled his surrender, with a warrant still active and the next court date set for April 10.
- A grand jury indicted the teens as adults on counts including kidnapping and false imprisonment after police said the June 18, 2025 attack happened in Overtown’s Green Haven Project.
