Two of the original St. Mike’s Six — charged with gang sexual assault after the Nov. 7 championship game incident where a teen was allegedly assaulted, restrained and repeatedly sodomized with a broomstick handle — are now facing new allegations of assault and sexual assault stemming from two earlier episodes against another victim in September and October.
Two teens of the St. Mike’s six had no additional charges laid Wednesday but still face the initial gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon allegations from the Nov. 7 broomstick incident.
Their lawyers appeared for them in court Wednesday and the case was remanded until Jan. 28.
A seventh student, a 15-year-old who turned himself into police Wednesday, was released on a $3,000 bail on gang sexual, sexual assault with a weapon and assault charges solely from the Oct. 17 incident.

Four of the original St. Mike’s six are charged with this October gang sexual assault incident as well as the November crime.
This October allegation bears some similarities to the Nov. 7 attack but the earlier victim is another teen who was victimized twice.
First, the teen allegedly suffered a bare buttocks slapping and broomstick strapping in the football team’s change room in September and then, a month later, was traumatized by a broomstick handle.
The earliest incident resulted in assault and assault with a weapon allegations against two who were already facing the Nov. 7 charges.

Six of the seven youths charged were junior football team members — who had just won the championship on Nov. 7 — and one co-accused who was a former squad member.
The four who were charged in the November incident were all released on bail as well Wednesday, but the amount of that bail for each was increased.
The youths’ identities are covered by a publication ban. All seven are back in court on Jan. 28.
