Footage of the sexual assault was allegedly found on a suspect’s cell phone and is said to show two men raping a woman who is passed out on a beach in front of dozens of bystanders.
BAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Delonte' Martistee, 22, and Ryan Austin Calhoun, 23, both students at of Troy University, were charged with sexual battery by multiple perpetrators, Sheriff Frank McKeithen said during a press conference on Friday, adding that the video was the "most disgusting, sickening thing" he had ever seen.
The alleged incident took place in March, but went unreported, despite occurring in front of hundreds of people who did nothing to help. Police expect more to be charged in relation to the incident and are still looking for two suspects, the Panama City News Herald reported.
"This is happening in broad daylight with hundreds of people seeing and hearing what is happening and they are more concerned about spilling their beer than somebody being raped," McKeithen said at the press conference.
"This is such a traumatizing event for this girl. No one should have to fear this would happen in Panama City Beach, but it does."
McKeithen likened the video to "A group of wild animals praying on a carcass as it's laying in the woods"
