Wake County middle schooler ended up this summer wral's Chelsea Donovan spoke to the
victim's mother about this incident in a story you will see only on WRAL
my daughter has to live with this for the rest of her life what happened to this Raleigh woman's 12
year old daughter is nothing short of a nightmare she you know would just kind of sit here for hours
throughout the day the she she's referring to is 21 year old Brianna Pinnock who spent many days
and nights lurking in this parking lot in mid-june working to befriend a 12-year-old middle schooler
who lived nearby she hung out for four days so she asked her daughter what was going on and
I'm like she's how old is she like why does she want to hang out with you but the next day pinik
wasn't staged in the parking lot and her own daughter not asleep in her bed did you sister
go somewhere and take all her stuff boy I'm like oh my God I immediately knew it had to be that
girl I knew it had to be her the mother found Brianna penick's number and called her and what
she heard was shocking she had told her that um I gave her to her and that I had sent her a copy of
her birth certificate and her social security card and that um she it was okay for her to
be with her Brianna had told the woman's daughter that her mother basically didn't want her anymore
the mother begged and pleaded with Pinnock to bring her daughter home where are you you know
I'm frantic because I'm like you know she's 12. then she called the police and filed this missing
persons report her daughter had been gone for three days all she saw was her sister laid out
on the floor in the hotel room unclothed not breathing someone had sent the 12 year old sister
a video text message that they recognized the little girl so her sister is screaming
at the top of her lungs and I got there and I just walked up to where everything was going on
her 12 year old daughter was nearly dead here on the floor of the Budgetel Inn on New Bern Avenue
they had said you know she had OD'd I'm like oh Dee what do you mean oh deep police say Panic had
taken naked photos of the girl with advertisement for sex for the purpose of prostitution and human
trafficking and this man 30 year old Bonnie Ray Morris allegedly raped the 12 year old girl and
drugged her with Percocet and Fentanyl she was given that by the pimp supposedly to I guess be
able to knock her unconscious so she can perform a little girl who still watched Disney movies her
mother said until she was pulled into a world of drug use human trafficking and forced prostitution
to know that she was sexually assaulted as a 12 year old is very hard to fathom and just face
the reality about the little girl was rushed to wake Med the doctor actually came out and
she actually was in tears because she's a mother herself and it bothered her because my daughter
didn't even know her name she had to actually take medication as if she had all of these
STDs a 12 year old raped drugged and left for dead it's unfathomable very unfathomable and
I don't want this to happen to anybody else's little girl the mother says this serves as a
wake-up call in hopes other parents know that their children too can become preyed upon to
know that this is real it's not just in other countries it's not just in other states it's
