One day before, the victim took the stand to testify, explaining that she met Green and another man named Jamarterious Lawrence online. She testified that, when she ran away from home, they offered to pick her up.

She said they took her to an abandoned apartment on Blanco Road and the three of them stayed there drinking, smoking marijuana and having consensual sex. At some point, she said that it turned into sexual assault and prostitution.

The co-defendant, Lawrence, took a plea deal and will be sentenced in September.
