During its investigation, ACSO deputies uncovered videos showing the beating.

Rayborn filmed herself, as did others, beating the victim over an extended period with her fists and with one of the crutches the victim was using to get around after breaking her foot.

Robertson is seen on the video beating the victim as well as dragging her around the home and out the front door by her hair.

At the end of one of the videos, Rayborn blows a kiss into the camera.

Rayborn was released on a $50,000 bond. Robertson, whose bond was also set at $50,000, remains in jail.

No motive for the attack has been given at this time, but sheriff’s deputies are continuing to interview people involved and more arrests could be made.
