Eight members of the violent Bloods street gang were indicted Friday on charges of savagely beating and raping a pregnant member for fear that she might tell police about their criminal enterprise, according to court documents.

The eight were charged on 18 counts, including racketeering, kidnapping, assault with a knife and first-degree sexual abuse.
