Three teenagers have been charged after the alleged violation of a 15-year-old boy in the grounds of an Auckland school in November.

Police say the three teens, who are also aged 15, appeared in the Pukekohe Youth court to face sexual and violence-related offences and were given bail subject to strict conditions.

The boy, a student, was allegedly held down and assaulted while others watched.
