INVERNESS - Two young girls invited a 13-year-old friend to sleep over Sunday, but the gesture was a ruse. Their real plan, Citrus County deputies say, was to extract revenge because they suspected her of cheating on her boyfriend - and they didn't think that was right. They locked the victim in a bedroom, made her partially undress in a bathroom and put some itching powder on her face, according to police reports. They also videotaped portions of the ordeal and posted it on the social networking site MySpace. On Monday, the two girls, ages 13 and 15, found themselves in handcuffs in the back of a sheriff's cruiser, facing felony charges. After receiving a complaint, a sheriff's deputy viewed the MySpace posting and arrested the two girls. They face false imprisonment charges, as well as other misdemeanor charges, the nature of which were not released because the two girls are juveniles. The sleepover occurred at an Inverness residence off Croft Road on Sunday night. By Monday afternoon, the victim's mother had called the sheriff's office, according to arrest reports. The victim's mother said the girl, a student at Crystal River Middle School, awoke about 2 a.m. Monday, after the skin on her face began to itch. She rinsed her face and then noticed the other five girls in the house were also awake. One, the 13-year-old, had a video camera. She demanded the victim take off her shorts. The victim retreated to the bathroom, took them off and handed them over, the arrest report states. Most of that incident was captured on videotape, the arrest report states. In the following few minutes, the victim was insulted and challenged to a fight. The other girls had also locked the victim into a bedroom, the arrest report states. The victim was not seriously injured during the incident, and did not require any medical attention, according to a sheriff's public information officer. The two girls were released to the custody of their parents and are under house arrest. Contact Jorge Sanchez at sanchez@sptimes.com or 860-7313 in Citrus or 1-800-333-7505, ext. 7313 toll-free.

Both the 13 and 15 year old should have at least one-two years in jail. Heard they got Probation! Hope others beat their heads in.

I just saw this on the New's... Photobucket took the video down... Poor Girl... Even if she was cheating, She didn't deserve to get beaten. The problem should have been talked about, not handled like this...

Hey, I would like to invite the two brats to my house for a sleepover. There will be punching bouts where you're the target, and psych sessions will follow to analyze why you're so sad in your own life that you have to degrade others. RSVP ASAP

The girls are probably just jealous that Holly has a boyfriend and they don't. And if she did cheat that would make them even all the more angry that she could get more than one guy and they couldn't even get one. Pathetic girls really.

that's really stupid. if the girl is cheating on her boyfriend, why should they care? they must be pretty arrogant to put the videos on myspace and expect to not get in trouble for it. they need some jail time, let them get beat up &see how it feels.

This video was appalling!!! It was a good thing the girl that was lured had as much self-control as she did! These girls deserve an adult's punishment!.

Clearly the parents of these girls do not supervise them enough and/or do not care about how they treat other individuals. Certainly these parents do not set good examples for their children.

Maybe the parents of the victim should see an attorney and file a civil lawsuit. That may get these brats' attention, in addition to jail time.

I just hope to God these brats go to juvenile hall and have the fear of God put in them. And I hope these brats' parents enforce this and not let them slide.

This video sickened me! I feel so sorry for the girl that was beaten and I pray for her! Regardless of what they said she did, there is no excuse for their behavior! Yes, punish the girls, but also the parents that raised them. This is disgusting!!!

This video just makes me so mad. girls are so immature. The girl doing most of the yelling looks like shes probably the 15 year old one. She probably thought she needed to be the "toughest." I get a vibe like she is showing off. She also talk like a

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
