According to CBS News, the girl was reportedly sleeping on a sofa when her mother went to smoke meth in the home's garage.
That’s when the suspects committed the assault.
When she returned, she found the girl visibly upset with her dress "pulled up past her waist,” she said.
All four men have been booked on charges of rape and sodomy on a child, both first degree felonies.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the mother of the child, who has been placed in state custody, will be charged.
