South Carolina police have detained two men in connection to the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl with 'diminished mental capacity.'
Tasheen A Walker, 20, and Jonah D Fishburne, 18, were detained and charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
The North Charleston Police Department shared that they were alerted of the alleged sexual assault after multiple people began reporting a Facebook Live video.
An officer looked over the video and asked for anyone who had information to call authorities. Details were provided by multiple sources, which led police to an abandoned building.
There, they found the victim and her mother. Both were visibly upset.
An officer asked the victim what happened and she said that she was walking to her grandmother's house after hanging out with her boyfriend, when a group of five guys asked her to hang out with them.
The victim told police that the men grabbed her and forced her into the house, where they then began assaulting her in the basement of the home.
Police said the victim identified Walker and Fishburne, adding that she didn't recognize the other three. The other three men had left the area by the time police arrived.
The teen was taken to a local hospital, where she received treatment.
Police are asking that people not share the video as it shows child pornography.
