A group of teenagers, boys and girls are now on trial after they all were involved in the rape of a 16-year-old girl in Hollywood, Florida which was captured on tape.
According to CBS Miami, the attack on the victim, who has not been named, took place outside of a home in the Florida city in November, and now cell phone footage has been released of the horrific beating. The site reports:
As the videos begin, the victim is on the ground being dragged on the ground and sustaining a series of blows from her attackers. Voices recorded on the videos refer to the victim having been maced. At one point, one of the females is heard asking, “Are you recording again?” before walking over to the victim and forcefully slapping her in the head. The videos reveal that at least two young men were watching the beating. One of the men is heard saying, “They don’t like this girl.” One of the females responds, “I told you we were gonna f— somebody up.”
When she was able to briefly break free, one of the girls told the camera to just let the victim go and be on her way home, but what happened next was much worse.
The two girls helped Jayvon Woolfork rape the victim by holding her down just after they relentlessly beat her. She was then taken to a hospital.
The site continues:
Hours later at a hospital, the victim spoke to police about the attack. A detective asked her why the young women beat her and the victim said “I don’t know. I honestly don’t know.” The victim also told police “I just don’t ever want to see them again. I mean, I thought Patricia, I thought they were my friends. And for them to do something like that, it’s just really messed up and cruel, and sick in the head.” The victim also told police that before she left the house Ericka Avery spit on her.
The video shows the victim being dragged around a room and being beaten by the two girls, who are shouting demands at her to remove her clothes. The rape was not caught on film, and one of the girls in the attack claims that restraining her and holding her down never happened.
This is just sick and cruel! We pray for the victim during this tragedy.
