Georgia police are investigating reports that Trent Lehrkamp, 19, was forced to guzzle vodka and take mushrooms by a group of teens before he lost consciousness and was allegedly tied to a chair, urinated on and spray-painted, according to online reports and officials.

The Glynn County Police Department said in a press release Sunday that on March 21, they responded to Southeast Georgia Health Center around 10:40 p.m. after receiving a report of an alleged hazing incident.
 
How can this happen? A previous incident? Justice for this young man!

"Police said in the release that the video circulating on social media — which shows what appears to be teenagers standing around outside at night while one of them sprays a male sitting in a chair with a hose — is from a prior incident involving Lehrkamp and was not connected to the Tuesday night incident.

Early the following day, on Wednesday, March 22, officers served a search warrant at the St. Simons Island residence where the incident is said to have occurred and collected numerous items of evidence, the release said. More search warrants were served later on Wednesday as well." Alleged hazing victim alert, talking with police

From Police release report on overdose incident involving teen :
The three minors kept asking if they were free to leave, the report said, and did so after leaving their phone numbers and names on a sheet of paper for hospital staff.

The investigation into the incident was made public Sunday by the Glynn County Police Department after social media posts surfaced showing photos allegedly taken during the incident and a video that police said showed a prior incident.

Since the initial report was made, Glynn County Police have served search warrants, including at the home where the incident is said to have occurred, where police gathered numerous items of evidence, the Glynn County Police said in a release posted by the Glynn County spokesperson on Sunday night.

"Detectives have interviewed several juveniles associated with the incident and are continuing to conduct additional interviews," the release said.
 
This is so sad... =(
There are articles out there with comments from dad saying Trenton would go to this guy's house who he thought was his friend, and every time he'd come back home having been treated similarly to this.
I don't have time to look for it right now but it's in some MSM reports...
Maybe in one of the articles you linked @kaen but can't view all since I'm in Europe.
I hope all of them get caught and punished and also the adults who supplied the booze and a place to drink it and let them assault someone =**(
 
@AliceInPain, this reminds me a little bit of other cases where there are "haves" and "have nots" among a community. It seems like this young man was the victim not so much a hazing but rather systematic, brutal attacks that included alcohol, drugs, solvents like WD-40 and more. Some articles discuss that the social media posts from the attackers are in the hands of LE and online for those who wish to view (I just can't myself).
 
Yeah I was surprised when I saw the word "hazing"... This was humiliation, bullying, abuse...
They never wanted him to join their group or anything, they just wanted to laugh at him and make him feel like a nobody.
I watched two of the short recordings and they weren't nice, but what stood out to me were these people's attitudes, like they were proud of what they were doing and really believed they were being cool.
I just hate bullies and abusers =(

Georgia man reportedly ‘tortured & humiliated’ by teens at party

A picture circulating online appears to show the victim unconscious, bound to a chair, and covered in spray paint.

WARNING upsetting picture at above link.

“He’s hanging out with these high school kids who are not his friends,” said Owen, a friend who has known Lehrkamp since they were 10.

Owen said Lehrkamp, who is not on the spectrum despite what some news outlets have reported, was living with depression and believes he was looking for friends. He said he hopes those involved are charged and fully prosecuted.

“They need to learn their lesson from this,” Owen said. “It’s crazy.”

I was surprised by the news articles mentioning the word, not you putting it in the thread title <3
I'm sure you can ask a mod to remove the word until we know what actually happened.
I'm going to see if I can find any updates...... Hope he's ok =(
