Jorge Martinez of Atlantic Beach, Florida is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl and then posting a naked video of her on Instagram.
Martinez, 18, faces charges of sexual assault, obscene communication, and delivery of a controlled substance to a minor. He was ordered held on $550,000 bond. News sources did not name an attorney for him.
According to Miramar police, Martinez attended a party at the alleged 15-year-old victim’s home on June 24.Police say the party ended at around 1 a.m. and Martinez left with the teen and several others to go to his home on SW 42nd Street in Miramar. Several people reportedly saw him making sexual advances on the teen and giving her Percocet pills.
The girl’s friends later saw an explicit video of her naked and drugged on Marinez’s Instagram and went to search for her at his house.
In the Instagram video, Martinez can reportedly be heard talking about having sex with the victim, saying that “the perc got her knocked out bro,” in reference to the drugs he allegedly gave her, police said. The video then shows the victim, who is naked on the couch and not moving, the arrest report states.
The victim’s friends found her unconscious; her lips were blue and she didn’t appear to be breathing. They drove her to a hospital in Hialeah and she was later airlifted to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami in a coma. She was was reportedly without oxygen to her brain for almost 30 minutes, and suffered organ failure and internal bleeding. It is unclear if she will survive.
By not calling 911, Martinez and the victim’s friends reportedly made the situation worse. Instead of taking her to a nearby hospital that was just minutes away, they took her to a hospital that was almost an hour away.
After the victim was hospitalized, her friends reportedly got into a argument with Martinez that got physical. Martinez was injured and police were called. He was arrested on Wednesday. Martinez purportedly told police he only kissed the teen, but he later admitted he was at the house where she was raped and posted the video on Instagram, the report indicates.
