A disturbing video circulating on social media shows a sickening act allegedly involving students at Piedmont Middle School in Charlotte, leaving parents outraged and demanding answers.
The North Carolina Beat has been gathering facts surrounding the incident and has learned that it occurred outside of school hours during football practice. The video reportedly began circulating online Wednesday afternoon.
In the footage, a young male appears naked with only his shirt on and his underwear to his ankles, using his hands to cover himself.
“Bruh, chill,” the alleged victim can be heard saying.
Another student then responds,
“Hell nah, n***a.”
The alleged victim is seen lying on the floor while laughs and shouting could be heard.
During alleged assault, the victim said he was going to tell a coach.
The video shows the situation escalating as another student asks the victim why he’s covering his private area.
“Bruh, what if the coaches walk in… y’all better lock the doors,”
the victim says as another student walks over to lock the door.
A voice can then be heard demanding,
“Turn around,”
followed by the victim asking,
“Should I do it?”
Another student says,
“Don’t record, don’t record,”
to which the victim replies,
“No, he recording and s***.”
Moments later, the footage shows the victim on his stomach as another student, dressed in all black, forcibly opens the boy’s buttocks and begins humping him while fully clothed.
Other students can be heard ridiculing the victim about his private area size while laughing and recording the assault.
“Look at yo bh ass getting fed, n***a,”
one of the kids says, adding that he planned to post the video on his social media account.
As the video continues, the victim begins screaming for help while the student in black remains on top of him.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) confirmed to reporters that it is investigating the alleged sexual assault.
Although no public report has been released yet, CMPD says there is “an ongoing active investigation.”
Because the incident involves minors, the department says “little information is available to the public.”
