A former police officer with the U.S. Marines befriended his teenage girlfriend’s alleged rapist to retrieve a video that the assailant had filmed of the horrific attack. Elric Shawn Millner, 24, is said to have plied a 17-year-old girl with copious amounts of alcohol and raped her on August 3, 2010 in Webster, Texas. The teen had no recollection of what had taken place until Millner showed her videos of himself, and others, sexually assaulting her while she was intoxicated and pleading with them to stop. In the footage, she can be witnessed urinating and vomiting on herself and can be heard saying ‘no’ while Millner laughs. The victim protests that she is in pain but her assailant tells her that he knows that she likes it and continues attacking her. But the woman maintained her silence and the crime went unreported, according to KHOU.com. That is until the woman, now 19, whose name has not been released to protect her identity, started dating a former-Marine MP. She confided in her new boyfriend about what had happened, much to his horror. He made it his mission to retrieve the footage to use it as evidence against the attacker. He feigned a friendship with Millner and made disparaging remarks about the woman in question in an attempt to win his trust. Millner ended up confirming the allegations and showing the woman’s boyfriend the videos. But rather than taking his own revenge, the man encouraged his girlfriend to report Millner’s vile acts to the police. Millner was arrested and charged with sexual assault on Thursday. His bond was set at $50,000, according to KTRK. The video will be used as evidence against the man.

Agreed!

Amazing story!!!! Hope she gets some peace!! Bless her Soul!!!

What I find most disturbing is how often gang rapes occur. What is in the minds of these men?

I read an analysis of police stats once that shocked me. The researchers concluded that the most dangerous place for a woman was to be the sole female in a group of men who felt like they had a "group bond" -- fans of a particular sports team, working for the same company, members of the same fraternal group, etc. It was chilling, and it made me wary of being alone with groups of men.

I think individuals will do things in groups that they wouldn't do by themselves.

I saw two disturbing bullying videos in the last couple of weeks: the first was of boys saying horrible things to a bus monitor, and the other, from Europe, was of a girl slapping and hitting a girl who was sitting on the curb minding her own business. Even though the latter case involved a single girl perpetrating the violence, she was surrounded by other girls who were giggling and showing their approval. I can't say for sure, but I doubt these people would have acted like this were it just themselves and their victims.

I LOVE this guy! Most guys would just want to beat the snot out of Millner, it would feel good for a second, but this will have much bigger consequences for him, bravo!

I lived around that area South of Houston in high school - it's between Houston and Galveston, near NASA. When I was her age I could easily get into clubs and drink, I'm guessing much hasn't changed So scary.

I'm glad the new bf stepped in and justice was served. The photo of the guy who accosted her will haunt my dreams.

the bf is amazing! What an amazing man!

It takes more strength to withhold the strength used to knock the bastard out. This is a real man. And this woman is lucky to have him as a boyfriend.

Boyfriend of the Year!
