Members of a street gang known as the “Latin King Goonies” were arrested last weekend for brutally attacking two recruits after finding out they were gay.

According to Fox News the nine members of the Latin King Goonies gang heard a rumor that one teenage was gay and then found the teen, stripped him, beat him and sodomized him with a plunger handle until he confessed to having had sex with a man.

The gang members found the man by inviting him to a house, telling him they were having a party, police say. When he arrived, they burned, beat and tortured him for hours and sodomized him with a miniature baseball bat.

About two hours later, the teen was eventually released and told not to tell anyone. He walked to a hospital where he was treated, but he reported his injuries were due to a robbery.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he was sickened by the accusations of violence “and saddened by the anti-gay bias.” The beatings, which occurred Oct. 3 in the Bronx, followed a string of anti-gay attacks and teen suicides attributed to anti-gay bullying that have led to nationwide soul-searching.

 All face charges including robbery, assault and unlawful imprisonment as hate crimes; Mendez, Rivera and Falu were additionally charged with committing a criminal sex act.

Bronx Criminal Court Judge Harold Adler set bail for Peitars and Caraballo at $100,000 bond or $50,000 cash; the other six were held without bail.
