STORY: Who Is Amber Cole?
Amber Cole’s father spoke out to a Baltimore radio station and said:
“She was forced to do this, she was bullied, harassed into doing this. The one that videotaped it, I hope he’s incarcerated. I’m hoping he gets some serious time out of this. It hurts a lot of people– not just her, not just her reputation– but also her family.”
Since the controversial video hit the internet, Amber has changed schools, two boys implicated in the filming have been arrested and the investigation is on-going.
