Below is video from CNN on a friend of the 15-year-old Richmond, California rape victim who spoke out at a public hearing on Wednesday, October 28.

According to the Contra Costa Times, the victim was described by a friend as a "churchgoer" who was struggling to fit in.

CNN reports that the victim  "had come alone to the Richmond High School homecoming dance, gorgeous in a sparkling purple dress and faux diamond baubles. The DJ played salsa, meringue, rap. When the teenager disappeared, her friends thought she had gone home early."

Meanwhile, four of the suspects in the case were arraigned on Thursday, October 29.   Three of them appeared in bullet proof vests.   A cousin of one of the suspects told reporters why she believes her cousin is innocent.  Click here for an article on that hearing.
