Gross! Dallas police arrested a fifth person in connection with the rape and forced abortion of a 14-year-old girl. The beating and betrayal of the now 16-year-old occurred two years ago, but a witness and friend convinced the teen to report the brutal attack.

Cedric Jones, 27, Sharon Jones, 45, Cecila McDonald, 25 and Lonnell McDonald, 27, were arrested and charged with engaging in criminal activity.


The fifth suspect, 22-year-old Robert Joseph Cayald, was arrested for the aggravated assault of a child.

Cayald is accused of raping the alleged victim, a virgin at the time, in an apartment in August 2012 while she was staying with family members.


Seven children living in the home with her were placed in foster care. She is also now in Child Protective Services custody, but is living with a friend. In addition to the 16-year-old girl in CPS custody, six others include girl’s 15-year-old brother and 14-year-old sister and Cecila McDonald’s four children: a 9-year-old girl, 7-year-old girl, 6-year-old boy and 3-year-old boy.
