Smith Dorcent, 18, used the phone belonging to the 17-year-old mother of his child to film himself beating her with a belt as she lay tied up on a bed, according to Boynton Beach, Florida, police. Then, he allegedly broadcast the beating via her Snapchat account.
The May 16 video appeared long enough to be captured and sent to a Department of Children and Family services investigator, and now the Boynton Beach teen is in Palm Beach County jail on charges of child abuse and false imprisonment after being booked Wednesday.
The victim has a 10-month-old boy with Dorcent.
According to the domestic violence probable cause affidavit from the Boynton Beach Police Department, the DCF officer writing the report saw a video with a young woman on a bed with hands tied behind her back with a black, white and green cloth. The man taking the video was hitting the young woman with a belt.
After admitting to police shes the woman in the video, the affidavit says, the victim said that the incident began when she refused to unlock her phone for him. She told police he held her down, tied her hands with the headband, grabbed one of her fingers and pressed it to the phone to unlock it. Then, he filmed himself whipping her buttocks and legs. She wailed for him to stop. He stopped only to laugh and post the humiliation to her Snapchat account.
Snapchat quickly gained popularity among younger social media users for the way images and video disappear after a short time. That didnt prevent a friend of the victim from seeing the posted video. The friend, recognizing Dorcents bedroom as the background and seeing the video had been up only a minute, raced over to the house. The victim told police thats when Dorcent untied her. She left with her friend. She told police she didnt report the beating in May for the same reason she stayed in a relationship with Dorcent: She feared him.
That mutt would be not breathing if it was my daughter.
Two immature children with adult sex organs attempting to play house, is a 1000% recipe for failure.
“A dangerous, sadistic and unrepentant felon like this needs serious prison time.”
There’s an island in the Gulf of Mexico called the Dry Tortugas; it’s uninhabited and has the remains of a Spanish Fort. I suggest we begin exiling people who commit crimes like this to that island fortress. Put in a library of coloring books so they can rehabilitate themselves.
Very similar to an idea I've proposed for several years, which is to drop offenders off at a particular mile marker of the Aleutian Island chain that extends for 1500 miles off Alaska and invite them to walk/swim home.
The mile marker would vary depending on the nature of the crime. We would drop this guy off at the 1000 mile marker.
....it’s in his DNA,..right ODUNGO?
That is not a “Man”.
I’m sure he has a 9mm bullet waiting for him..a brother,father....maybe an uncle,somebody related to the mom will punch his ticket
