New York: An 18-year-old woman in the US has been accused of filming the sexual assault of a minor girl and uploading it in the social media, prompting a grand jury to indict her and her boy friend on several charges including rape.
The woman, Marina Lonina from Ohio, is charged with streaming the rape of the 17-year-old girl via Twitter's live video app Periscope, US media reported.
The case came to light when authorities were contacted after an out-of-state friend of the woman saw the images, Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said.
Marina Lonina and co-defendant Raymond Gates, 29, have been both charged with rape, kidnapping, sexual battery and pandering sexually-oriented matter involving a minor, NBC News reported.
O'Brien said Lonina and the victim, who were friends, were socialising with Gates at a home when Gates raped the girl.
Lonina used the Periscope app to livestream the assault, said to have occurred on 27 February in the city of Colombus.
Periscope is an app for smartphones which uses a video function to allow users to stream events live.
Meanwhile, Lonina's lawyer said that she "categorically" denies the charges.
The duo can face up to 40 years in prison each, if convicted.
That would work.
They need to find out who was watching the event on their phones and go after them as well.
Larry Kroger, is that you?
She looks like she’s been rode hard and put up wet.
Pretty boy can look forward to the same treatment in prison.
He can look forward to be rode hard too!
GMTA.

Used as politicians do, the phrase “categorically deny” means guilty as hell.
He’s going to be real popular...
Rock me Amadeus
This evil slug should be thrown naked into a corral with a zebra!
It would and I'd agree with that big time.
It’s not always the Amish.

Socialist media must end! Something bad happened to the world when the internet reached a certain level of creepiness.
I used Periscope this afternoon to watch a live presentation of the Wailing Wall by an Israeli Christian tour guide. My anecdotal experience is that what seems to be running mostly at any given moment is a small collection of religious-based feeds, and a lot of young people presenting the video equivalent of a motion selfie.
40 years, her in a male prison, him in a female prison. That seems right to me!
I am confused. Did these two actually do the raping or did they film someone being raped by a third party?
No doubt....
