An underage girl in Memphis, TN may have been sexually assaulted during a Facebook Live broadcast, Fox Carolina reports.
The Memphis Police Department is investigating the incident that involves a 15-year-old girl and multiple teenage boys that was recorded live on Facebook.
The group of boys took the girl to a playground at Denver Park, where witness Derrior Demuney says he heard the girl saying, “Record me, record me.”
Demuney added that while the encounter looked consensual, the girl appeared very young, and possibly had special needs.
The video, which drew more than 18,000 viewers and 200 shares, could lead to child pornography charges.
According to police, they have not yet charged anyone.
The girl’s school released the following statement:
