Teen Perp Accused in Rape, Death of LSU Coed CHARGED AS ADULT

The minor accused of raping Madison Brooks in the back seat of a car will be tried as an adult.  Desmond Carter, 17, has been  indicted for first-degree rape and third-degree rape. 

Kaivon Washington, 18, is also charged with third-degree rape. Everette Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, were charged with principal to third-degree rape, which means they were there when the incident occurred but did not take part in it. 

LSU student Madison Brooks is killed after being hit by a car. Brooks was standing in the road at the time.  

Police say Brooks left a Tigerland bar with four men. Two of the men, then allegedly rape the very inebriated 19-year-old. When Brooks cannot give the men her address, she is dropped off around 3 a.m. in a random neighborhood. That is when Brooks is hit by the car. That driver showed no signs or evidence of being impaired.  

At first police said the suspects videotaped the assault but in the last hours, recanted those comments and apologized for the error.  There is,  however, a video of Brooks arguing with the men in the car. 

The four men who left with Brooks claim the sex was consensual, but hospital staff says Brooks' blood alcohol level was nearly 4 times the legal limit.
