During a horrific bullying incident, several teens forced a Georgia 19-year-old to drink dangerous amounts of alcohol and consume magic mushrooms, landing him in the Intensive Care Unit last week.
Trenton ‘Trent’ Lehrkamp, 19, is now in stable condition but remains in the ICU after being hazed at a spring break house party on Tuesday, March 21 on Saint Simon’s Island, Georgia.
A video of Lehrkamp sitting in a chair being hosed down was posted on a Glynn County community Facebook account, but police said it was from a previous bullying incident where the teen was targeted.
The old video shows several witnesses who did nothing to stop the abuse, as well as one who appears to be celebrating the abhorrent incident.
Police are looking into whether a photo of the same teen circulating now on Facebook was taken from the incident that landed Lehrkamp in the ICU last week.
The horrible photograph shows the seemingly unconscious victim sitting on a chair with several other teenage males standing behind him.
The young men standing behind the victim, according to the Facebook account where the photo was posted, bound the unresponsive Lehrkamp to his chair, covered him with spray paint, urinated and defecated on him.
The Glynn County Police Department has not released any details about the incident, but it has been reported that the victim was dropped off at a hospital in an unresponsive state by a group of three other teens, who left the hospital before the police arrived at around 10:40 p.m.
According to the Police Department’s press release, the victim had no obvious signs of injury, but they confirmed that his clothes were all wet with urine.
Doctors treated the victim for dangerous intoxication caused by a combination of alcohol and other controlled substances and placed him on a ventilator.
The home where the alleged incident occurred was searched for evidence, and interviews were conducted, but the investigation is still ongoing. The Glynn Country Police Department reported that they were able to interview Lehrkamp in the hospital on March 26 and heard his account of what happened that evening.
According to a support account set up for the victim, a group of people the victim thought were his friends turned out to be abusers who tortured him for several hours until he was on the verge of death.
