Three Jersey City men held two prostitutes at gunpoint, repeatedly raped them, transferred more than $2,000 from their cell phones and stole cash from them, criminal complaints say.

Hudson County District Attorney Esther Suarez announced Monday the arrest of Mohamed Mohamed, 24, Abdalla Abdelsalam Elsayed, 20, and Mahmoud Hegazi, 18. The three men were arrested on Sept. 20 and are being held in the Hudson County Jail pending a detention hearing on Wednesday, Sept. 25, Suarez said.

Each of the men faces 21 charges, including multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping and weapons offenses.
