CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The mother of a rape suspect is apologizing to his alleged victim.
Police arrested 16-year-old Davious Boyd and 17-year-old Damario Coxton on Thursday.
Police said the teens broke into a northwest Charlotte home Wednesday night and robbed and raped the woman inside.
Coxton's mother told Eyewitness News she broke down when police told her the charges against her son.
Her 3-year-old daughter was in the next room.
"What if somebody broke in here and did me like that?" Wanda Coxton asked, thinking of her son. "I'm a mom, just like she's (a) mom."
Both suspects are due in court next week.
