Mansfield police determined that 18-year-old Sean Murphy began kissing the 17-year-old girl after meeting her at the concert on Sunday, and then took her away from her friends to another part of the outdoor amphitheater. She said that she went with him because “she was afraid of what would happen” if she didn’t agree.
After removing the girl’s shorts and underwear, Murphy reportedly began having sex with her.
Police said that 15 or more concert-goers gathered around to watch, and even recorded the incident on their cell phones. Some of those photographs and videos had been recovered as evidence.
“My friend told me to look over there and there was a couple on the ground having intercourse. So we looked at it, and we took pictures and we thought it was consensual,” one witness told WFXT.
The attack only allegedly came to an end when a woman asked the victim if the act was consensual.
“Do you want this?” the woman was heard saying.
According to a police report, the girl said, “no,” and then a witness “saw the female break free and run.”
The girl’s friends later brought her to police, and gates to the venue were closed until the suspect was found.
The police report said that Murphy admitted that he had been intoxicated from drinking Jack Daniels, but “stressed that he did not force himself on her.”

I want to go on record now with a prediction: this is a false rape accusation. Charges will either be dismissed, or Murphy will be pressured to plead to something minor so the prosecutors and cops can save face. This girl got caught up in the moment and started fucking this guy. When she realized everyone could see and film them, her anti-slut defense started acting up; the bystander asking if she wanted it gave her the perfect escape hatch (and put her in the position of either crying rape, or admitting that she wanted to be fucked by a stranger in front of a crowd).
Fortunately there's video and plenty of bystander witnesses, at least some of whom saw it as consensual.
