Authorities held four Utah men between the ages of 20 to 36 on allegations that they raped a 9-year-old girl, NBC News reported.
The men, Randall and Jerry Flatlip, 29 and 26, and Josiah and Larson RonDeau, 20 and 36, were arrested between March 29 and April 1, the Uintah County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
The men allegedly raped the girl on March 27 while her mother was visiting friends at a home in Uintah County, in the eastern part of the state, the statement said.
Investigators determined that while the girl was asleep on a couch, her mother went to the garage to smoke methamphetamine, the statement said, adding: "During that time, the child was taken into another room in the home where she was raped by the four men."
It was unclear Sunday if the men had attorneys.
