Tiktok video shows disturbing incident
Police arrested Lucrecia Kormassa Koiyan, 19, of Loganville, Georgia, after she posted a controversial TikTok video.
The clip appeared to show her ‘twerking on the head’ of a disabled person.
The video quickly gained traction, leading to severe criticism from social media users.
Many condemned Koiyan’s actions as disrespectful and exploitative.
Koiyan defends her actions in follow-up video
After facing backlash, Koiyan uploaded another video defending herself.
She denied doing anything wrong and claimed that others misrepresented the situation.
“Right now there’s a video going viral of me, the ‘healthcare worker,’ dancing on top of her patient’s head,” she said.
“It’s not what it is. Trust and believe. Angles play a big part, but we’ll go into that another time.”
She also insisted that the man in the video was “verbal” and “very aware and comfortable” with her.
Police launch investigation and make arrest
The video alerted the Loganville Police Department on January 23.
Officials launched an investigation, leading to a search warrant and Koiyan’s arrest.
In a Facebook statement, the department confirmed the charges.
“A criminal investigation was initiated, which resulted in the execution this morning of both a search warrant and arrest warrant for the female,” the statement read.
Authorities charged Koiyan with exploitation of a disabled person and booked him into the Walton County Jail.
Social media advocate reports the video
A social media user known as the ‘Queen of Accountability’ was the first to report the incident. She regularly contacts authorities about online injustices.
“When I saw it, I thought it was a skit, I thought it was a joke,” she explained.
She then contacted Loganville police, providing them with Koiyan’s social media accounts.
“You don’t have to hurt, harm, or humiliate someone to get a couple of likes and shares,” she added.
Police chief condemns the video
Loganville Police Chief Dick Lowry strongly criticized the video.
“When I watched it, disgusted is the only word I know,” he said.
“He is disabled, and then making the video and posting it to social media for your own benefit is the exploitation of that person.”
Reports state that koiyan posted bond and left jail early wednesday morning, january 29.
The incident has reignited discussions about ethics in social media content and the potential legal consequences of online behavior.
