16 Year Old Accused Of 'Pure Evil' After Kidnapping And Recording A Sexual Assault Will Be Chaged As An Adult

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Prosecutors told a Broward County judge on Monday that they were charging Jamarius Charles as an adult

The 16-year-old boy and Corey Jones, 18, kidnapped a woman at gunpoint on Sept. 14 in Pompano Beach, according to prosecutors.

The victim said they stole her Toyota RAV4, took her $200, forced her to withdraw $400 more from an ATM, and both raped her while threatening to kill her.

“They said about a million times that they were going to kill me,” she said after their arrest. “It was torture, pure evil.”

Broward detention department records showed Jones was at the Joseph V. Conte Facility and Charles was transferred on Monday to the Paul Rein Detention Facility.

Deputies reported finding Jones driving her Toyota RAV4 on Sept. 15 in Pompano Beach, he fled and jumped out of the car, and when he was caught he had two phones — one was his and the other was her Samsung Note 9.

Charles is facing seven charges: Three counts of sexual assault with a weapon, two counts of robbery, carjacking with a firearm, and kidnapping for ransom.

Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer, who presided over the Parkland school shooter’s case, was assigned the capital sex felony case against Charles, records show. Circuit Judge Michael Lynch had the capital life case against Jones.
