PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – A third man has been charged in the disturbing spring break gang rape case that was captured on cellphone video taken sometime between March 10 and March 12 in Panama City behind Spinnaker Beach Club located at 8795 Thomas Drive.
George Davon Kennedy, 21, was arrested Tuesday in DeKalb County, Georgia, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office confirmed. The Middle Tennessee State University student is charged with principal to sexual battery by multiple perpetrators.
Investigators in Florida learned that Kennedy has family in Georgia and contacted the proper authorities, leading to deputies in DeKalb County just east of Atlanta making the arrest. A Middle Tennessee State University spokesman confirmed that a George Davon Kennedy is a student but said officials hadn’t been notified of any arrest.
Delonte Martistee, 22, and Ryan Calhoun, 23, were arrested and charged with sexual assault last week. Both are students at Troy University in Alabama, but were suspended after their arrests. Court records do not list attorneys for either man.
Kennedy, unlike the aforementioned suspects, was being held without bond. Calhoun is now out on bond while Martistee remains in custody. Jail records didn’t list an attorney for Kennedy.
The video isn’t the only one, according to officials.
“This is not the first video we’ve recovered, it’s not the second video, it’s not the third video,” Bay County Sheriff Frank 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.”
The video shows several men assaulting an incapacitated woman on Panama City Beach while a crowd of jubilant spring-break revelers watch on, the sheriff’s office reported. The victim told authorities she thought she had been drugged and didn’t remember the incident well enough to report it.
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.

So, all three perps are black, and the victim a 17-yr old white girl. How is this not a Hate Rape?
In the video you can even see the black chics surrounding their black "brotha's" so that the white people on the beach can't see the rape, and come to the rescue of the white girl.
So sad. Political correctness has gotten so ingrained in our culture that white men cannot even protect white women from black rapists.
