a Columbus Ohio man by the name of
Raymond gates has just been sentenced to
nine years in prison for his involvement
of a rape involving a 17 year old girl
now what made this story stand out from
other rape cases in the country is the
fact that there was the 18 year old
friend of the victim who happened to
livestream this rape as it was occurring
it was live streamed on periscope so
initial reporting indicated that a
periscope video live stream by
eighteen-year-old marina lonina
showed the young woman yelling no it
hurts so much please stop and please no
and that's according to police documents
provided to Teen Vogue now the person
who broke this story reported on this
story I should say for Teen Vogue was
Naomi LaChance she is one of the newest
reporters here at the Young Turks and
she managed to get exclusive videos of
Raymond gates speaking to Columbus Ohio
detective - a Columbus Ohio detective
about his side of the story and what he
believes happened that night now before
we get to the video let me give you some
more details about the story the victim
described herself is very intoxicated at
one point she was sitting on the bed
talking to Raymond she tried to stand
but stumbled back that's when he got on
top of her and began kissing her
according to the police the victim told
the police that after the rape she cried
as Raymond spooned her before she left
she asked him why he had assaulted her
he told her that he did not know what
what taking a girl's virginity was like
and he thought she was okay with it
according to the police document now
with that said here are some of his
answers to the detectives questions
while this case was being investigated
the video the problem is that the video
she's live streaming at the time bunch
of people saw okay
plumbers all right and yes there is
know the bad stuff but when it comes
down to the point where you're actually
one a penetrator start the penetrator
vagina
she's screaming there's no stop but she
we were talking all the time I mean
girls here do they mean she's a virgin
and stuff man she said before that she
said I want people people
what'd she do she said that as that on
the video when she was an Alan carrier I
don't hear gee I don't I don't care you
know I mean it took a girl's virginity
before you know there she's in my
bedroom dude she's in my bedroom
she's right there I'm not a
rapist dude I am NOT a rapist I am a
good guy I've only been out a few and
I'm not a rapist this girl came back to
my house she's dead she's 18 she's a
virgin she saw me she wants to lose her
virginity and they like she's ready to
do it in everything and then right a
couple seconds before and she's like
she's like I don't know and stuff like
that I mean some girls get one and when
he leaves virginity and afterwards my
own each other and stuff and she's like
saying she's not mad at me she's not
upset with me they got drunk I got drunk
she's from she's in my bedroom she's
upstairs and everything she's telling me
yes everything's cool she's cooled
making out she's cooled us in a she's
cooled us being there and all of a
sudden you know right
a couple things before I mean I'm sure
she's like I'm sure that's what happens
girls were like oh you know I don't know
it's gonna hurt and stuff like that
can be okay you know okay so this is why
lawyers tell you to get a lawyer before
you go in and and do and talk to the
cops and if you're the victim you're
glad he didn't because he just confessed
he said a couple of seconds before we
did it she said stop yeah so that that's
when you're supposed to stop exactly and
so he keeps saying it and and look I bet
you there's a tons of guys out there
going come on dude and she was already
there come on dude she's not she's
already there is not an excuse
yes I was allowed to tell you know at
any moment she is and look even if you
don't care about her and you don't think
it's right you don't think it's fair
you're gonna go to prison dude he's
going to prison for nine years if she
says no at any point stop otherwise
you're going to prison so if she said
stop before the sex began then you don't
do the sex so it might be inconvenient
to you maybe you're drunk and maybe oh
but dude she's already in my bedroom is
not a legal defense I don't know if it
comes from ignorance or if it comes from
people just not caring knowing with the
laws and just not caring to follow it
but you're right at any point regardless
of what led to the situation at any
point any person male or female can say
I don't want to stop and at that point
you stop and he did not do that we have
another really quick short video that I
want you to watch here's another part of
his answer and by the way you can watch
the full video at youtube.com slash tyt
politics great reporting by Naomi
LaChance let's take a look when she
screams stop please don't do this
it hurts so much I was
when I mean like the oh no stop I'm
already like inside over there man it's
already like that's when she's like Oh
hurts which it hurts want to go insert
virginity taken so no I understand that
but look guys again even if you don't
care about the morality of it and you
don't care about the girl involved in
etc even if she were in the middle of
the act and she says no you better stop
dude you're gonna go to prison so I'm
telling you right now if you don't it's
not about being a social justice warrior
it's not about like oh my god we're
judging you I'm telling you you're gonna
go to prison don't do it okay and so now
on to the morality of it yeah two people
have to consent guys and if she changes
her mind right before you're about to
have sex I guess that sucks for you
right but she changed her mind people
are allowed to change her mind you're
not allowed to you know to keep going it
was out her consent that's just not how
it works and so and look I don't know
man I do I have to bother doing this
what if the shoes on the other foot and
it's two guys and you know you weren't
sure next thing you know you're like no
no no I don't want to do it and he keeps
going yeah when you didn't want him do
you change your mind then he goes what's
the big deal man yo you're crying now
she said she was crying why did you
assault me so don't give me this stuff
about the spooning right right and and
she had said that you know she was
crying as that was taking place look
regardless he confessed to doing
something that's flat-out illegal once
she says stop and she repeatedly said
stop you have to stop and he didn't do
that which is why he got sentenced to
nine years in prison by the way her
friend who was live-streaming this
rather than calling the police are doing
something to help her has been sentenced
as well to nine months in prison and her
argument which was ridiculous was well I
wanted to help her and draw attention to
it by live-streaming
Strutt live-streaming it but then I
started getting so many likes on the
periscopes oh my god oh Jesus Christ
help your friend okay so that's that's
the society that we're living in so look
when we're talking about rape culture
people have like this very new Jarrett
of reaction to it because they think
that it's it's individuals trying to
make a big deal out of nothing but this
kind of
is a big deal and the kind of excuses
that the perpetrator made in that video
or in those videos shows you exactly
what rape culture is it's this
entitlement to someone's body or it's
this entitlement to sexual gratification
because hey you know what she was
wearing something that was skimpy or she
came to my house or she was drinking no
no those are not reasons or those are
not factors that give you any type of
entitlement to her body any type of
entitlement to do anything you want to
do to her corporate media is awesome
wrong independent media is the way to go
believe me believe me support
independent media right now become a
