Woman accused of broadcasting rape of a friend for 'likes' on social media

An Ohio woman accused of broadcasting the rape of her 17-year-old friend with a social media app was trying to record the assault as evidence, the woman’s attorney said in a defence a prosecutor flatly dismissed.

The accused got caught up in collecting ‘likes’ on social media, said prosecutors.

Marina Lonina, 18, has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges including rape, kidnapping, sexual battery, and pandering sexual matter involving a minor.
