A 17-year-old boy and 18-year-old Henry Sanchez were charged with assaulting the 14-year-old girl at Rockville High School in March.

Sanchez’ attorney Andrew Jezic has maintained the girl agreed in text messages to have sex with the 17-year-old. CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reported Jezic said he has seen the texts between the younger teen and the alleged victim.

Officials say Sanchez came to the U. S. from Guatemala illegally. The 17-year-old’s lawyers say he came from El Salvador to live with relatives who are citizens.
