On Monday, four people were arrested in connection with the alleged rape of Madison Brooks, a Louisiana State University student. Kaivon Washington, 18, and an unnamed 17-year-old juvenile were both charged with third-degree rape, while two other suspects, Casen Carver, 18, and Everett Lee, 28, were charged with principal to third-degree rape.
According to the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, the suspects allegedly assaulted Brooks and then dropped her off in an East Baton Rouge subdivision. Shortly after, Brooks was fatally hit by a car.
Under Louisiana law, third-degree rape involves a victim who is “incapable of resisting or of understanding the nature of the act by reason of a stupor or abnormal condition of mind produced by an intoxicating agent or any cause and the offender knew or should have known of the victim’s incapacity.”
The four suspects are currently being held in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. No further information has been released at this time.
The investigation into the alleged rape and subsequent death of Madison Brooks is ongoing. The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact them.
