Man Charged With Live-Streamed Rape
JUNE 3--An Arizona man allegedly used a webcam to broadcast his sexual assault of an unconscious woman live on the Internet, according to police. Johnathan Hock, 20, was arrested Monday and charged with sexual assault, kidnapping, and unlawful surreptitious photo. According to a probable cause affidavit sworn by a Phoenix Police Department detective, Hock attacked his 20-year-old girlfriend--who had passed out after a night of drinking--in her own bedroom in late-February. As first reported by the East Valley Tribune, Hock allegedly used a laptop connected to the Internet to stream the 30-minute assault, which was broadcast live via the Stickam.com web site (a video of the attack was later uploaded to Stickydrama.com, a site affiliated with Stickam.com). Hock posted frequently to Stickam.com and 'is very popular on this site and is well known for his sex related behaviors,' witnesses told police. According to a search warrant seeking Stickydrama.com files, Arizona investigators learned of the video from a Louisiana woman who had viewed it online. The witness said that while Hock assaulted the woman (whom he had been dating for two weeks), he was 'laughing and making comments...about how the victim would never know what was happening to her because she was 'passed out.'' The search warrant affidavit notes that, in an instant message exchange with the woman following the assault, Hock admitted to 'doing something to the victim' while she was unconscious. Hock, however, denied raping the woman, saying 'it is not in his character.' Hock, pictured in the above mug shot, is being held in the Maricopa County jail and is scheduled for a June 8 court appearance. (8 pages)
