Girl Records And Posts Her Rape Online, Viewers Horrified By What’s In Background

An Ohio man was arrested and charged with felony rape after he was caught in a Snapchat video raping his 20-year-old stepgranddaughter.

James Allen was arrested after police got a call from a man in Texas requesting a welfare check on his friend. Officers from went to check on the woman and all seemed well, despite the young woman being intoxicated.

The man later contacted police again, pointing them to two videos sent to him on Snapchat that showed the woman being sexually assaulted. Authorities returned to the home and arrested Allen.

“The most upsetting thing about this is that this is her stepgrandfather,” Danbury Township Police Chief Michael S. Meisler told BuzzFeed News. “He married her biological grandmother. He was the one who provided her with the alcohol that evening.”

Meisler added that it was unclear whether or not the woman posted the videos on purpose, but she was “able to capture the disturbing incident.”

Allen was held in lieu of $1 million bail.

“I hope they lock him up and throw away the key,” one Mad World News reader commented on the site’s Facebook page. “I’m glad she was smart enough to catch it on her phone.”

“How traumatic, that man should be castrated and incarcerated for life,” another wrote.

“Shame on him. Keep him locked up so he cannot hurt anyone else,” another added.

In a similar incident, a Kansas City, Kansas, a man was arrested for using social media to lure a 14-year-old girl and rape her. 

Ian Smith, 20, was arrested and charged with child pornography after allegedly luring the girl from Indianapolis, Indiana, to an apartment building in Cincinnati, Ohio, using apps called Kik and Charango.

The girl, Amelia, went missing days before she was found abandoned. Police say their investigation found she was raped by Smith, as well as 25-year-old Eric Ho. Bryan Otero, 27, was also charged for his involvement, allegedly helping and watching the rape take place. After the alleged sexual assault, Smith reportedly left Amelia and returned to Kansas.

“What if there’s other girls they’ve done this to, you know?” Brandie Boon, a neighbor of Ho and Otero, who live in the apartment building where the rape took place, told KMBC. “Have they done anything else to ’em?”

“These social media applications can pose a problem to especially a younger juvenile,” Union Township Detective Ken Mullis said following the arrests and the return of the teen to her family.
