I want to thank the Cincinnati Police Department for their excellent investigation and for getting these 3 defendants arrested so quickly today.

My office will do whatever we can to help the victims through this difficult process. We will prosecute this case vigorously and seek maximum sentences for these defendants to get the victims the justice they deserve," Deters said.
