EDITOR’S NOTE: Juvenile male victim #1 – is black, juvenile male suspect #1 – is white.
Between 3/23/18 and 3/30/2018, the Williamsport Area High School baseball team attended a tournament in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. At some point during that week, a video was shot from inside one of the hotel rooms for the players.
The affiant watched this video and observed that
the juvenile male victim #1 was asleep on a couch when
the juvenile male suspect #1, a teammate, appeared
to have put his penis in the face of the sleeping victim.
On 5/18/2018 a Lycoming County Children and Youth Services employee (NAME REDACTED BY AUTHOR), saw this video. He reported this to Matt Wood of CYS. Both (REDACTED) and are mandated reporters.

Also, in this file next was a phone message on 9/4/18 for Weber to call a woman. Part of the message read:
“Kids were asked and instructed in Myrtle Beach
to delete any videos they may have taken.”
The next document in the DA’s file was a print out email dated 9/28/2018. It was from Detective Tiffany Whitmire of the Myrtle Beach Police to Williams Weber.
