A horrific incident occurred on New Year’s Day in 2014, in Columbus, Georgia, where a 36-year-old woman, Brielle Saunders, was brutally attacked by three men after winning a rap battle against them .
The three men, identified as Robert Johnson, Ketorie Glover, and Joey Garron, couldn’t handle their defeat and decided to take revenge on Saunders. They kidnapped her at gunpoint, drove her to a vacant lot, and subjected her to a series of heinous crimes. Saunders was gang-raped, sodomized, shot multiple times, doused with gasoline, and set on fire.
Miraculously, Saunders survived the ordeal, but the trauma and physical injuries she sustained were severe. The incident sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for justice to be served.
In August 2018, all three men were found guilty of multiple charges, including aggravated assault, rape, aggravated sodomy, kidnapping with bodily harm, and arson. Robert Johnson and Ketorie Glover were each sentenced to six life sentences plus 95 years in prison, while Joey Garron received five life sentences plus 70 years .
This tragic incident highlights the devastating consequences of toxic masculinity and the importance of promoting a culture of respect, empathy, and non-violence.
