An 18-year-old believed to be affiliated with the MS-13 gang was arraigned on Sunday on charges that he raped an 11-year-old girl after breaking in through her second-floor bedroom window in Brooklyn, law enforcement officials said. Family members were awakened Wednesday at 11:30 p.m. by the girl’s screams and called 911 as the man escaped through the window of their home in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, police said. The girl was treated at a hospital and released, the authorities said. On Saturday, the police released two surveillance videos hoping that members of the public could help identify a suspect in the assault that shocked neighbors near the girl’s home. One showed a young man walking nearby shortly after the attack, pulling a sweatshirt over his tank top.
