In the courtroom, the teen says she had been momentarily separated from her friends around 7 p.m. and spotted Evans as she was on an escalator going down."Today she got up on the stand, faced the defendant, same person who had held her against her will, and looked him in the eye and said exactly what happened to her," said Assistant District Attorney Caroline Goldstein.
The teen testified that said Evans told her he was 25 and his name was Alex. She responded that she was underage, but said he had gripped her arm. "She's 14. She was incredibly smart during this interaction despite how scary it was. She managed to record this individual, the defendant. She told him she was 13 indicating to him that she is a child," said Goldstein.
