Police allege the girl was sexually assaulted repeated times while in the home.

A 16-year old boy faces charges, as do Richard Wayner, 23, and Michael Pottle, 22, both of Toronto.

The 16-year-old cannot be identified, due to his age.

All three have been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, gang sexual assault, overcome resistance: choking, threatening death and forcible confinement.

All three men appeared in court on Aug. 3.

Police said in a release that community members helped them identify the accused.
