Investigators said the teens sexually assaulted a 33-year-old woman and were then seen on surveillance video inside her apartment building.

They allegedly attacked the victim after meeting her at a nearby high-speed Internet cafe on Eldridge Street, stealing her keys and personal belongings which showed her address and led them to the building, CBS2's Ilana Gold reported.

In the video, you can see the suspects heading up the stairs to the victim's apartment. Investigators said they got into her unit and attempted to rob the place, but got spooked when they saw someone inside.

The teens immediately ran downstairs and headed out the building.

The woman was taken to the hospital where she was listed in stable condition.

The investigation into the incident led to a supervised home in Manhattan run by the Boys Town organization, where the three suspects all live, WCBS 880's Marla Diamond reported.

Pek is charged with rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and petit larceny, police said. Burrows is charged with rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and attempted petit larceny, police said. Asliev is charged with attempted rape, assault and attempted burglary, police said.
