A Denham Springs native, Carver went to Walker High School. Charged for participating in or witnessing the rape of Brooks, he accused the teenager and Washington of asking for sex from the victim. He reportedly told the police that the sorority girl was “very unstable on her feet, was not able to keep her balance, and was unable to speak clearly without slurring her words.”
According to the documents, Carver confessed before the officials that he "hated" the alleged attack and revealed that Brooks was not in the condition to give her consent, reported WAFB. The victim was later dropped off on Burbank Drive where she died after the ride-share car hit her.
Lee reportedly from Pine Grove, was the oldest in the group of four charged in connection with the rape case. Though he did not rape the 19-year-old girl, he was present in the car when the alleged assault took place, as per reports.
In his statement given to the police, Carver, who drove the vehicle and agreed to give her a ride, denied having met Brooks before or even knowing her. The currently released men - Carver and Lee - reportedly sat in front of the car while Washington and the unnamed teenager raped her. Carver told the two men to "stop" before she was dropped off.
According to the post-mortem reports, Brooks suffered "injuries consistent with previous sexual assault anally" and also injuries from the accident, the Daily Mail reported.
