When Raymond Gates met Marina Lonina and her friend at a local mall in Columbus, Ohio, the 29-year-old purchased the two teens vodka and suggested they meet the next day. The teens came Raymond’s house. He allegedly held Lonina’s friend down and raped her on a bed. Lonina, who is 18, pulled out her phone and proceeded to live-stream the incident on Periscope rather than call 9-1-1. When confronted by the police, Raymond argued that the sex was consensual.
