MIAMI (CBSMiami) --  Students at Braddock High School have been on social media talking about a video of a girl being sexually assaulted by three students and a dropout from the school.

Now, those teens are facing serious charges.

Miami-Dade Police arrested the four teens - three of them students at the high school - in connection to the sexual battery at a Bal Harbour hotel.

Adrian Machin, 19, was in court Wednesday morning and remained in jail at last check.

He was joined by three of his friends - all charged with several crimes including sexual battery of a 21-year-old incapacitated woman.

Investigators say the assault happened at the Quarzo hotel on May 1st around 2 a.m.

According to police, 19-year-old Julio Fernandez  assaulted the woman while Machin and 17-year-old Adan Valdes recorded the incident. They said 19-year-old Luis Rosello watched.

The arrest report states that during the assault they inserted various objects into the incapacitated woman's vagina.

The details in the police report are so graphic, the judge in bond court Wednesday even had a hard time containing her emotion while looking at the report.

The judge even made a point to make sure the parents got a copy of the graphic arrest report.

The video has been reportedly passed around the school causing anger among some of the students.

Following the arrests a spokeswoman for Miami-Dade County Public Schools issued a statement saying,

"Miami-Dade County Public Schools takes allegations of this nature seriously, even when they take place off school grounds and beyond the normal school day. The students involved in this case will be disciplined according to School Board policy. We are committed to ensuring that school and District activities will not be negatively impacted as a result of this incident."
