PLEASE STOP! Woman live streams herself getting raped in a popular nightclub
A woman has gone viral after she captured and live streamed herself getting raped by a man in a club’s dance floor.
The incident was said to have happened at Opera nightclub in Atlanta on January 19th.
In the Facebook live footage, Jasmine Eiland is seen dancing with a man who then begins to sexually assault her. Eiland can reportedly be heard yelling “stop” and “please help me”.
In a statement, Atlanta police department said,
“Early Sunday morning, APD began receiving calls about a Facebook Live video that appears to show a woman being sexually assaulted in a local nightclub.
“Our Special Victims Unit has made contact with the victim, and an investigation into the matter has been opened. The investigation continues.”
Eiland has since posted a series of statuses on her Facebook, one saying, ‘I’m ok’ and another that reads, ‘Please no calls/texts I’m still gathering myself please.’
Opera Atlanta, one of the largest nightclubs in the US, has released a statement on their Facebook page that reads,
“At this time we have met with the Atlanta Police Department and have provided them everything they have requested. We will continue to aid and support their investigation in any way we can.”
The hashtags ‘Jasmine Eiland’ and ‘Justice for Jasmine’ have both gained traction on Twitter.
Pop star Bebe Rexha shared screenshots of the video on her Twitter, writing, “[Jasmine Eiland] was drugged and raped while she was streaming on Facebook Live at a night club in Atlanta. She was crying and saying help me and NO repeatedly. Out of Respect, I will not share the video.”
DJ Zedd, who was scheduled to appear at the nightclub on February 1st, has announced on Twitter that he will no longer be performing on that date.
