EAST BATON ROUGE, La. — A Louisiana State University student who died after she was hit by a car while on her way home from a bar was allegedly raped shortly before the fatal crash, authorities said.
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office arrested four people on Monday, including three teenagers, in connection with the alleged sexual assault.
Casen Carver, 18, and Everett Lee, 28, were also arrested and charged as principles to third-degree rape, court records show. During an interview with detectives on Jan. 16, Carver reportedly stated that while walking to his car from the bar, Brooks"was very unstable on her feet, was not able to keep her balance, and was unable to speak clearly without slurring her words," the affidavits stated.
Carver and Lee, who was identified as Washington's uncle, allegedly remained in the front seats of the car the entire time, according to the affidavits. The 17-year-old suspect and his mother did not want to provide a statement to detectives, while Lee reportedly confirmed to detectives that he was in the passenger seat that night, according to the affidavits.
