According to her, she was invited to a party at a fellow high schooler’s house. The boy who was hosting the party gave her a drink that she believes was spiked with a drug that made her lose consciousness.
Jada says she passed out and didn't know what happened for the rest of the night until after the party,
when pictures of her body - stripped from the waist down - started appearing on social media. She said she only found out she was raped when she saw the pictures.
Following the attack, Jada's peers mercilessly continued to spread the videos and pictures online. Other teens joined in and started mocking her online, sharing images of themselves splayed out on the floor in the same pose as Jada’s unconscious body under the hashtag #jadapose. But Jada isn’t backing down. She’s speaking out about what happened to her, telling her story to local press, KHOU because she has nothing to hide anymore.
“Everybody has already seen my face and my body,” she said, “but that’s not what I am and who I am.”
Nonetheless, the social media firestorm has taken a toll on her. Jada called for her attacker to be arrested, and said that she was angry and now wants to be homeschooled. Her heartbroken mother, who chose not to be identified, told KHOU:
“No one's daughter deserved this. No human being deserved this.” The Houston police is currently investigating Jada’s allegations, and no arrests have yet been made. The alleged perpetrator has denied that a sexual assault occurred, referring to Jada as a “hoe” who “snitched.”
