Four Kuna defendants charged with raping an 18-year-old woman in February had their cases remanded back to magistrate court, where they will likely accept plea agreements.
Elias Lupango and Ulimwengu Lupango, Swedi Iyombelo, Mulanga Rashidi were each originally accused of rape, a felony punishable by up to life in prison.
On Tuesday, attorneys asked 3rd District Court Judge Bradley Ford to remand the cases back to magistrate court. They said they planned on reaching a plea agreement, and hoped to present it to a magistrate judge there on Friday.
The Idaho Press reports, the four in February raped an 18-year-old woman in a car in Kuna. The woman had been communicating with one of the men online, and she agreed to meet up with him. When she arrived, though, all four were there, and are accused of forcing themselves on her.
