WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. --
The Reverend Al Sharpton says four black teens charged in the gang rape and beating of a West Palm Beach woman and her son were treated unfairly.
Sharpton says the teens charged in the June 2007 attack in the Dunbar Village housing project should have been treated the same as five white teens recently accused of raping two young girls in Boca Raton after a party.
The defendants in Boca Raton are all free on bail. Three teens charged in the Dunbar Village attack remain held without bail; the fourth agreed to a plea deal.
Sharpton was flanked Tuesday by relatives of the Dunbar Village defendants. He says he's protesting an "imbalance" but doesn't condone the teens' actions.
A spokesman for the state attorney's office declined comment.
