OMG! Please tell me this isn't true': The horrifying moment Ohio footballers' rape 'victim' discovers by TEXT what happened to her after 'she passed out on drunken night'

The horrific moment a 16-year-old girl learned from a series of graphic text messages that she had been stripped naked, humiliated and allegedly sexually assaulted after she claims she passed out from drink, was today revealed in court.
In a fraught text exchange with a friend the morning after the alleged attack, the girl at the heart of the Ohio rape case was overcome with a sense of dawning terror: ‘OMG please tell me this isn’t f***ing true.’ She pleaded: ‘You couldn’t have told them to stop or anything?’
Hours of text and email conversations were read out during an explosive second day of testimony at the trial of footballers Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16.

They include the heartbreaking exchange between the alleged victim and the friend who left her naked on the ground in a basement on the night of August 11-12.
They also detail the girl's furious railing against Mays and her desperate attempts to discover what happened to her.
The communications also appear to show how Mays’ bragging gave way to a growing panic which even led to an extraordinary exchange between Mays and the teenage victim's father.

Emails: The court was told Mays told a friend who called the victim a 'dead body' that he got a 'handygandy' from her and would have had full sex with her

Trial by social media: The messages over Twitter, Instagram and text that were exchanged that night and the next day have become central to the case - and to the outrage it has caused nationwide

Mays and Richmond are accused of twice digitally penetrating the girl - described as 'too impaired to say no' - and subjecting her to 'degradation, humiliation and violation'.
The alleged assaults took place in the back of a car and once in the basement of a house in a case that has scandalized America and thrust the small industrial town of Steubenville, Ohio, into the national spotlight.
The defense contends she was coherent enough to walk and make decisions.

 

But in a string of texts from the victim the day after, she repeatedly claims not to remember anything after the second of three back-to-back parties that took place that night.
In one her friend, a former boyfriend, told her: ‘You were like dead…I left when I saw you naked on the ground. I seriously felt so bad for you and I couldn’t do sh*t about it. I’m so sorry.’

Male friend: You don’t think I did? I flipped out on them and they just said they were going to put you to bed and I don’t know what happened after that.
Victim: Thanks. I hate my life. I don’t even know wtf happened.

The following exchange takes place after the victim learns about a picture of her with semen on her stomach:

Male friend: Do you remember anything from last night?
Victim: I remember everything at Cammy’s (first party) then I remember walking out of the house and after that I don’t remember sh*t beside sitting in some road throwing up.

Male friend: You ok?
Victim: Not at all

Male friend: You’ll be all right but I mean did you do anything at all with them? If you remember anything at all you have to tell me. I promise I won't be mad.
Victim: Swear to God I don’t remember doing anything with them because I didn’t feel good after throwing up. I passed out. I remember Trent telling me to do something but I said no.
Male friend: If there’s [semen] on you that’s f***ing crazy.
Victim: Please find out.

Her response was one of shock and dismay: ‘You couldn’t have told them to stop or anything?’
Later that same day, the court heard, how the alleged victim had contacted one of her alleged attackers begging him to tell her what had taken place as the rumors began to swirl around her peer group.
Images taken of her had already appeared on Instagram and several youths at the parties had tweeted mocking comments, a reality to which she was only just waking up to.

In one text to Mays read out in court, she simply asked: ‘How could you let that happen to me?’
Mays was telling her not to worry, that ‘nothing happened’ and he played down the events of just hours earlier. But exchanges between him and male friends paint a different picture.
Referring to a multimedia message – including an image which could no longer be retrieved by the forensic analyst - the alleged victim texted her friend: 'Someone sent this to me. I have never read anything more f***ed up in my entire life.'
She admitted: 'I've been crying all f***ing day. I wasn't being a slut they were taking advantage of me.'

The testimony of Computer Forensic Specialist for Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations revealed a flurry of texts between Mays and several friends – many asking for copies of pictures and video taken that night.
One text sent at 11.25 am (local time) by a Big Red football team-mate stated: ‘She looks dead lmao.'
Mays responds: ‘She is.’
Another sent an hour or so earlier read: ‘Did you do it?’
A subsequent text from the same sender bearing the time stamp said: ‘I wanna see the video of you hitting her with your wiener. lol.’
Mays responded: ‘Idk who took it.’
