Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp, who declined comment beyond a statement emailed late Wednesday night, said the two students have been charged with first-degree rape.
Tripp said the alleged rape occurred when 18-year-old Raquan Marquest Boswell and 16-year-old Jesse Jyrell Alston pushed and restrained a female student in a male locker room area.
Investigators responded.
Working with school resource officers, Sergeant Lindsay Mann charged the students, Boswell, of Roanoke Rapids, and Alston, of Littleton.
They have November 15 court dates.
Investigation continues and more arrests are possible.
