The girl was only 12 when she was snatched off a West Side street and repeatedly raped for three days in an abandoned building, Cook County prosecutors said in court Thursday.

About six years after the November 1999 incident, one of the girl's alleged attackers finally appeared in a Cook County courtroom Thursday. Johnny Harris, 23, is charged with predatory criminal sexual assault. A judge set his bail at $400,000.

The girl didn't remember the location of the building, prosecutors said. The girl was kept in the building, sexually assaulted and at one point locked in a closet, prosecutors said.

Several days later, the girl was dropped off in an alley, wearing only a bra, and rescued by a good samaritan, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors had no information about the three other suspects Thursday.
