The four suspects were held in jail on bonds of $2 or more for each one. 

The official statement released by Randall County said: 

** WOMAN HELD AGAINST WILL ** 4 SUSPECTS BEHIND BARS **
Last Thursday, 10/19/2017, at approximately 8 p.m., the Randall County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a female trying to break into a mobile home at 1903 Greg Street.

When deputies arrived, they located a woman breaking out windows, later identified as Jessica Valverde.

A short time later, at 8:10 pm, dispatch received a call from Northwest Texas Hospital Emergency Room regarding a 33-year-old female who had been sexually assaulted and held against her will.

It was quickly determined that the sexual assault was related to the break-in on Greg Street so Deputies secured the scene and called investigators.

The initial investigation and evidence collected at the scene led investigators to believe that the woman at the hospital had been sexually assaulted at that house.
