Rape suspect lashes out during court hearing Thursday

Jayvon Woolfork asks judge, 'Where the (expletive) is the evidence at?'

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – A 20-year-old man accused of orchestrating a November 2013 gang rape of a teenage girl at a Hollywood home is expected to head to trial.

Jayvon Woolfork was in court Thursday to hear a plea deal offered by the state.

"You need to make a decision about whether or not you want to accept the state's plea offer of 15 years in prison followed by five years of sex offender probation prior to the victim giving her deposition to your lawyer," the judge told Woolfork.

The judge said once the victim gives her deposition, the state will take away its offer.

"I wanna tell you something. Let me tell you something," Woolfork said, interrupting the judge. "Where's the DNA at? What evidence do you have?"

The judge said prosecutor Maria Schneider claimed that Woolfork gave a statement admitting that he had intercourse with the victim.

"Hold on now, she said she was raped," Woolfork responded. "Where's the evidence showing that she was raped? Where's that evidence at?"

"I have a couple of audio and videotapes that show that she was being beaten profusely while being told she needed to perform sexual acts on him," Schneider said.

"Yo, where is the facts that she said she was held down and raped? Where the (expletive) is the evidence at?" Woolfork said.

"Judge, we're clearly going to trial," Schneider responded.

"Alright, cool then," Woolfork said.

Two men and two 17-year-old girls accepted plea deals in the case and received sentences of two to four years in prison.

Police said the group lured the victim to Woolfork's home, then beat and raped her while recording the incident.

Woolfork's attorney has requested a mental evaluation of his client.

Woolfork faces life in prison if convicted by a jury.
