College baseball star Garrett Wittels and two friends — including one who lives on the Upper East Side — have been charged with raping two 17-year-old girls in the Bahamas, local court officials said.
Two more men were being detained pending a court hearing, according to the Miami Herald.
Wittels, whose active 56-game hitting streak for Florida International University is the second-longest in NCAA history, was partying with pals last week when they met the girls at a hotel bar, the paper said.
Wittels, 20, Jonathan Oberti, 21, and Robert Rothschild, 21, — who lives on East 72nd Street — were released on $10,000 bail at a hearing last Thursday.
They did not enter a plea and were allowed to return to the United States.
Their next hearing is scheduled for April 18.
The Herald also said Steven Tromberg and David Shapiro, both 21 and from Florida, are involved in the case. They are being held pending a court hearing, but have not been charged.
A source told the paper that video surveillance footage on Dec. 20 shows the two girls drinking at a bar in the Atlantis Hotel kissing one another before gesturing to the suspects to sit next to them.
One of the girls later throws up on herself and is given a new T-shirt by one of the young men, the source said.
“They [the girls] are saying they can’t remember anything,” the source said.
The father of one of the accusers called cops after the girls returned to their hotel room, the source told the Herald.
In the Bahamas, the legal age of consent is 16, but the drinking age is 18.
Garrett’s father, Michael, said his son’s fame motivated the girls to make the accusation.
“The next morning, they found out who [Wittels] was, and that was the road they took,” he told the Herald.
Oberti told The Post yesterday that the allegation is “false and the truth will come out.”
Rothschild, whose parents chaired a Florida awards gala for the American Friends of the Hebrew University last February, did not return calls, and no one answered the door at his Upper East Side home.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether the charges against Wittels’ would keep him from playing for Florida International when the season begins in February.
