Teen Rape Victim’s Assault Goes Viral (Video)

A 16-year-old Houston girl is stepping forward and taking a stand against her alleged rapists after photos of her semi-naked body were posted to social media.

The girl, who was identified only as Jada, told local television station KHOU 11 in an interview that she was invited to a party last month where she was offered a cup of punch that she now thinks was laced with drugs.

According to The Root there were “photos that included images of her fully clothed on a bed passed out and then lying naked on the floor, still passed out.” Jada said she was raped that night and her peers have shared photographic evidence via their cell phones and social media. Because of this, Jada decided to release her story to Houston’s local news channel KHOU.

In their exclusive interview, Jada told the outlet:”Everybody knows. And everybody’s texting me are you OK? You’re going to be OK, and I was like alright.”

Although KHOU’s policy is not to identify rape victims, Jada bravely said during her on-camera interview: “There’s no point in hiding. Everybody has already seen my face and my body, but that’s not what I am and who I am.”

Houston police are currently investigating Jada’s case, as well as her alleged rapist, Innel Yahia, who has made several disrespectful statements on his Twitter page. Surprisingly — or sadly — teen girls have offered him support against Jada’s allegations.
