SALEMBURG, N.C. -- Three men were arrested on charges that they held 10 teenagers at gunpoint and forced them to smoke marijuana and perform sex acts on one another, authorities said Tuesday.

The alleged abductors also fired four shots into the floor of the home where the teens were held early Sunday, Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton said. He described the victims as six high school-age girls and four boys and said the home belonged to one of the victims.

Three men in their 20s were arrested and charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and second-degree kidnapping.

" I would love to comment about this alleged crime, but since it only allegedly happened, the Pantagraph wouldn't post it. I guess I'll just allegedly sit here and allegedly continue reading this alleged newspaper. "

" some more people with mental issues!! Where is this world headed? I say down the tubes in a big hurry!! Why weren't they charged for forcing them to have sex? My heart goes out to these kids and these men should be put away for a very long time. The way our legal system goes they'll probably be given a couple of years and the key to the city. "
