The six juvenile girls who beat one of their classmates will be charged as adults. Two boys were also involved in the beating. They have already been charged as adults as they are 18.

The eight Florida teens ganged up on Mulberry High School cheerleader Victoria Lindsay and videotaped the entire beating with the intent to post the footage on YouTube. One of the defendants turned the tape into police.

The video, filmed March 30, shows 16-year-old Lindsay being attacked by the six girls while the two boys stood as lookouts. Lindsay was backed into a corner while the attackers blocked the door way. She suffered several blows to the head and was knocked unconscious after being slammed into a wall.

“It’s absolutely an animalistic attack. They lured her into the home for express purpose of filming the attack and posting it on the internet,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

After the attack, Lindsay was forced into a car by three of her attackers and driven to another location. The teens told her she would be beaten again if she attempted to call police. She suffered a concussion, bruises and damages to her left eye and ear.

All eight teens are charged with battery and false imprisonment. The three teens who forced Lindsay into a vehicle have additional charges of felony kidnapping. Their first court appearance is set for Friday afternoon.
