The woman told police she had been sexually assaulted. She'd also been beaten with brass knuckles, imprisoned for three days and transported to have sex with a man for money. Next Ovalle began to "inspect" the woman's body. He had her put clothes back on so he could take pictures to post in online sex ads. Ovalle obliged, and Benning sexually assaulted the woman with a wooden broomstick and glass bottle, she said.
The woman was also forced to perform sex acts while the others watched. The women then kicked her and beat her with an orange extension cord and brass knuckles, she testified. The woman also testified that Ovalle had displayed a gun and, at times, threatened all three women with it. When the beating concluded, Anderson and Stephenson told the victim to take a bath with Epsom salt. Stephenson then escorted the victim to another location, where she had sex with a man for money.
