The victim reported to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office that she had been raped by Audit and Littleton inside Littleton’s camper in Ocklawaha. She had met the two suspects at a party the previous night, where she became aware that Audit had a gun.
According to the victim’s account, Audit forced her to return to the camper with him and sexually battered her, using the threat of the firearm to coerce her. Later, Littleton returned to the camper, and the two suspects took turns raping the victim while the other held her down.

After the assault, the victim managed to escape and get into her vehicle. Audit and Littleton pursued her in an attempt to prevent her from leaving. They cut her off on the road, forcing her to stop, but the victim’s screams as they approached her car caused them to retreat.
Despite denying the allegations, Audit and Littleton were arrested after physical evidence from a sexual assault forensic examination, digital evidence, and injuries on the suspects corroborated the victim’s account.
Audit was transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice, while Littleton was taken to the Marion County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
