MILWAUKEE - Five teens have been criminally charged after prosecutors say a 17-year-old girl with special needs was forced to perform sex acts.

According to a criminal complaint, a video of some of the acts was taken with a cellphone and later posted on the website Facebook.

The teens charged in connection with the incident face charges ranging from sexual exploitation of a child, sexual assault and possession of child pornography.

One of the suspects is accused of picking the girl up in early June and driving her to a location where the alleged acts occurred.

The majority of the suspects are due back in court next week.  At least one is working on a plea deal.
