Florida Teens Brutally Beat and Gang Rape 16-year-old Woman


[From article]
Prosecutors presented the teens' cellphone videos as chilling evidence in court. They argued that two girls charged in the assault were too dangerous to be freed pending trial even though juveniles tried as adults normally are entitled to bond.
After Circuit Judge Lisa Porter retreated to her chambers for 20 minutes to watch the recording, she returned to the bench and described what she saw on the video.
It was 'depraved and sick,' unlike almost anything else she has seen during her time on the bench, she said.

Three others, Dwayne Henry, 17, of Hollywood; Lanel Singleton, 18, of North Miami; and Woolfork, 19, all face charges of capital felony sexual assault and kidnapping. They remain jailed pending their next court hearings.

But then she began describing the video of the crime, detailing how the victim pleaded with them to stop as she held her arms over her face to protect herself from their unrelenting blows.
‘The cruelty shown on this video . . . this was repeated over and over again . . . The girls are trying to remove her bra. You saw the victim sitting on the toilet crying, her face blown up and swollen from injuries, and then they beat her,’ Schneider said.
[. . .]
The victim claims that she was kicked, thrown down stairs and had her face smashed on concrete, breaking bones near both her eyes.
Judge Hurley said: 'This 16-year-old woman, both of her eyes were closed from being beaten, she had blood coming from one of her ears.
[. . .]
According to the police report, the girl was watching TV and listening to music when Montes and Avery suddenly grabbed her, pinned her down and began kicking her in the head.
They taunted her, called her names and told her that they would continue to beat her until she agreed to have sex with a 19-year-old man who lived in the house.
The girl refused, and Montes, Avery and three others continued to beat her, telling her that they wouldn’t let up until she complied, the report said. They then dragged her by her hair into a bedroom, where they stripped her of her clothes and the 19-year-old, identified as Jayvon Woolfork, raped her, it said.
