Three Tennessee Men Charged After Allegedly Raping West TN Teenager Then Posting Incident On Video On Facebook
CBS affiliate WREG reported that Antun Hester, Martin Milan and Rayford Smith were charged with aggravated rape and especially aggravated exploitation of a minor after the 17-year-old victim reported the attack on Wednesday.
The 17-year-old reportedly told police she agreed for Milan to come to her house to have sex, but told him no after he asked if he could bring his "brother." He arrived at her house later with Smith and Hester.
In the police report, WREG reported, officers confirmed they discovered text messages between the girl and Milan corroborating the fact that she told him no along with the recorded video on Smith's phone.
She let the three of them in, but according to WREG, made it clear she was only interested in Milan. Smith and Hester were told to wait in another room.
Police reported that several minutes after that, Smith and Hester went into the teenager's room and raped her. Smith allegedly recorded the incident on his cellphone and posted it to Facebook.
After the attack, the girl said she hid in her grandmother's bedroom.
According to police, Smith said he did not have sex with her at first, but did confirm that he was the one who recorded the video. Later, he reportedly changed his story but said that Hester was the one who went into the room first and raped the 17-year-old.
WREG said that Milan allegedly confirmed what happened.
