Newark Man Beaten, Stripped and Whipped Over $20 Debt

[rachel1]

NEWARK, N.J. — Three people are under arrest in New Jersey after a video surfaced showing a naked man being whipped because of his father’s debt.

Newark Police Director Samuel DeMaio said on Wednesday that the three men who are in custody are affiliated with a gang.

They were identified as 22-year-old Ahmad Holt, 31-year-old Raheem Clark and 23-year-old Jamaar Gray. Police say Holt administered the beating, using a belt provided by Clark. Charges include robbery and aggravated assault. Police say only one of the men has an attorney, but they didn’t provide a name.

The video shows a 21-year-old man being forced to strip and then whipped with a belt, supposedly because his father owed someone $20.

DeMaio says the victim suffered welts and abrasions during the August attack but didn’t require hospitalization.

Just the assault inflicted upon that victim seems just like the torture inflicted within Abu Ghraib.

May the perps be tried and, if found guilty, punished to the fullest extent.
