MIRAMAR, Fla. _ When details about a 15-year-old girl's house party were shared on social media, Jorge Martinez showed up to the Monday night gathering.
The meeting was fateful, Miramar police say: The girl was drugged, recorded naked during a sexual battery in video that was posted on Instagram and is hospitalized in critical condition, according to court testimony and records.
Martinez is in jail on a $550,000 bond, facing charges of sexual assault, giving a controlled substance/prescription drugs to someone younger than 18 and publishing pornography.
Martinez, who is 18 and unemployed, is from Atlantic Beach in Duval County near Jacksonville. He is living with his mother in Miramar.
Martinez was a stranger to the girl who hosted the party, according to police.
Witnesses saw him give her two Percocet, or Oxycodone, pills, an arrest report said. After the party at the girl's home ended, she was part of a group that went to a house on Southwest 42nd Street in Miramar.
Investigators were led to a video that witnesses said Martinez posted to Instagram.
It showed a naked girl lying face down on a couch, not moving. Martinez's narration describes how she was not completely asleep during intercourse and how "the perc got her knocked out bro," a police report said.
A second video police said Martinez posted to Instagram showed the girl was again without clothing, this time lying face up on a couch and seemingly unconscious.
The girl's friends who saw one of the videos became upset and looked for her, finding her early Tuesday evening at the Miramar house, police said.
The girl's lips were blue and she did not appear to be breathing. The friends put her in a car and began performing CPR as they took her to Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah, about 8 miles south, according to an arrest report.
The girl was later flown to Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami.
Also Tuesday, some of the girl's friends met Martinez at a shopping center in Miramar. The friends fought with Martinez, and police officers were called, according to police spokeswoman Tania Rues.
Martinez was arrested Wednesday.
He initially only admitted to kissing the girl, police said. While being driven to the police station, Martinez told an officer he was at the Miramar house and posted video to Instagram, the report said.
During a court hearing Thursday, Miramar Police Detective Mark Moretti said investigators on Wednesday night recovered additional video. It showed a sexual battery of a minor that had been livestreamed on social media, the detective said.
Martinez, in jail, looked shocked by Moretti's testimony and shook his head.
The detective went on to say the girl was in a coma, had organ failure, internal bleeding and that her brain was without oxygen for about 28 minutes.
"At this point we do not know if she's gonna make it or not," Moretti told Broward County Judge Jackie Powell.
Martinez swayed and looked like he was going to keel over.
Moretti added, "The defendant and other associates could have taken her to a hospital much closer, minutes away. They chose to take her to a hospital an hour away in rush hour traffic into Dade County, which probably contributed to her accelerated status."
Martinez's jail booking photo showed abrasions on his lips, and Assistant Public Defender Hector Romero requested that photographs be taken as evidence.
"This probable cause affidavit is quite concerning," Powell said about the arrest report. "There is great concern for the community."
In addition to setting more than a half million dollars in bond, Powell ordered that if Martinez is released from jail prior to trial that he must wear a GPS monitor. She also told him to not contact the girl or other minors.
"This is tragic on many levels," said Rues, the police spokeswoman. "We hope this case will prompt parents to talk with their children about opioid use and the dangers of social media."
