Three men and a boy have been charged with more than 50 serious offences as part of ongoing investigations into the alleged rape of three teenage girls in Brisbane last year.
Detectives from Inner West Child Protection Investigation Unit and Inner West Crime Group commenced Operation Tango Whirlpool in December 2020, culminating with the execution of four search warrants at addresses in South Brisbane on April 1.
It will be alleged than the men aged 24, 21 and 20 and a 16-year-old boy invited three teenage girls to attend a party at a location in Toowong.
It is further alleged the girls were drugged and sexually assaulted multiple times.
On Thursday morning, the men and boy were arrested by detectives with the assistance of Dog Squad, Tactical Crime Squad and other specialist units.
Each of the four have been charged with seven counts of rape, three counts of administering a stupefying drug to commit rape, two counts of sexual assault, contravene direction and drug offences.
They are due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on April 3.
Police are appealing for anyone with further information relating to the matter or victims of similar incidents to come forward.
