Two college students were arrested and charged Friday in the spring break gang rape case that has sparked outrage in two states and is growing nationwide. Now, PPD has confirmed that police are searching for two more suspects in connection with the attack.

The Bay County Sheriff’s Office Delonte Martistee, 22, and Ryan Austin Calhoun, 23, were arrested and charged with sexual battery by multiple perpetrators after sexually attacking a woman on a Florida beach in broad daylight filled with spring breaker, who did nothing to stop the attack.

The two men were students at Troy University in Alabama, but have only been placed on temporary suspension.

“As soon as it became formal that they were going to be arrested, we immediately placed them on temporary suspension,” Troy University senior vice chancellor Walter Givhan said.

The attack was recorded on cellphone video, which was taken sometime between March 10 and March 12 in Panama City behind Spinnaker Beach Club located at 8795 Thomas Drive. Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen said at a press conference that officials learned of the attack when police in Troy, Alabama discovered the video while investigating an unrelated shooting. They alerted authorities in Florida shortly after, who have reviewed multiple videos capturing the attack.

“This is not the first video we’ve recovered, it’s not the second video, it’s not the third video,” McKeithen said. “There’s a number of videos we’ve recovered with things similar to this and I can only imagine how many we haven’t recovered.”

McKeithen described the rapists in the first video as “wild animals preying on a carcass laying in the woods” perpetrating the “most disgusting, sickening thing” he had ever seen. Several men can be seen surrounding an incapacitated woman on a beach chair.

“This is happening in broad daylight with hundreds of people seeing and hearing what is happening, and they are more concerned about spilling their beer than somebody being raped,” he said. The sheriff said he expected investigators will make additional arrests.

The victim told officers that she thought she had been drugged at the time and did not remember the incident well enough to report it.

“She knows something happened, but she doesn’t know what happened,” McKeithen said Friday.

Martistee and Calhoun were being taken Friday to Panama City for a court hearing, and it was unclear Saturday whether they had defense attorneys.

The sheriff did not release any more information about the two other men wanted in connection with the gang rape. However, Calhoun is now out on bond while Martistee remains in custody. PPD could not immediately reach them for comment. They are due back in court next month.
