Devontavious BryantThe woman who says Devontavious Bryant raped her in 2012 took the stand during his jury trial Wednesday. She described the way two men attacked her during an early morning jog on Reggie White Boulevard. One of them threatened her, she said.
“He said he had a knife, and he said that he was going to break my face if I tried to run away,” the woman told a jury.
The Times Free Press does not identify victims of sexual assault.
The woman was calm as she recounted the attack. She described starting her run at the Rush gym on Fourth Street and noticing two teens on bikes. Just after she crossed onto Reggie White Boulevard, she said, someone grabbed her from behind.
The assailants demanded her money and phone, and when she told them she wasn’t carrying either, they took her mp3 player, she said. Then one of them, taller and wearing a yellow hoodie, choked her. She woke up on an embankment, where the one in a gray hoodie offered her a choice, she said: perform oral sex on him or take off her pants.
