Twitter User Posts Picture Of Passed-Out Girl With Threat To Rape Her; Leads To Investigation

A man who tweeted a picture of a passed-out girl and said he was going to sexually assault her is being investigated by detectives in Cobb County, Ga., BuzzFeed reported.

There's been no confirmation by the police on when the crime occurred, nor have they identified the man who tweeted the pictures.

Here is the series of the eventful night:

At 1:09 a.m. on Jan. 1, Twitter user RichlonelyJuan posted a picture of what appears to be a girl passed out in her own vomit, claiming that he and his brother planned on raping her.

Announcing that the victim no longer had a pulse, he continued to live-tweet throughout the night.

Another twitter user "@IH8UHOES" joined in and posted about the passed out girl.

Both users continued to tweet about the incident, neither denying nor backing down from the rape threat when concerned followers started questioning them.

A Tumblr post listed a possible address for the party in Acworth, Ga. But Acworth police told BuzzFeed that the incident took place elsewhere in Cobb County, Georgia.

The same man also posted a vine saying "I did rape her and kill her," which was later deleted.

Around 6 a.m., one of the men tweeted that somebody was at his door.

Twitter user @richlonelyjuan temporarliy deleted his account at about 11:25 a.m. ET.

Police confirmed they'd seen the photograph and two detectives had been sent over to the residence in order to investigate the rape allegation, BuzzFeed reported.

Dana Pierce, a public information officer for Cobb County told BuzzFeed on Wednesday that the police department did not have the names of the men who posted the photographs, or any information about the alleged attackers.

"How are we going to find them?" Pierce asked. "We could find their IP addresses, but we're not going to do that on New Year's Day... They [the detectives] will probably really sink their teeth into the case tomorrow."

Investigators received an anonymous call from a female who said she was familiar with the case and that there was "no truth" to it, Pierce told BuzzFeed.

"Obviously this doesn't satisfy our investigation," Pierce said. "But the alleged incident that has gone viral is not a crime. We need a lot more evidence to prove that this happened."
