More details have emerged about the case of XXXTentacion's alleged abuse of a pregnant woman and they're disturbing. As previously reported, XXX, real name, Jahseh Onfroy-- has been charged with false imprisonment, witness tampering, domestic battery by strangulation and aggravated battery of a pregnant woman. Onfroy is set to go to trial in October and is facing a very long sentencing if convicted.
Pitchfork obtained excerpts from the alleged victim's testimony and it describes the extensive abuse.
Warning: The following contains descriptions of alleged domestic violence.
The alleged victim and Onfroy began living together in May of 2016 and the first incident took place two weeks after moving in with each other. Onfroy slapped the victim and broke her iPhone 6s because she complimented a male friend's jewelry. In that same day, Onfroy made the victim decide what to put in her vagina: a barbecue pitchfork or a barbecue cleaner:
She chose the fork. He told her to undress. He was lightly dragging the tool against her inner thigh when she passed out. He did not penetrate her with it.
The testimony states that Onfroy was frequently violent and threatened the victim's life basically every day after they moved to Orlando in July of 2016. Not long after moving to Orlando, Onfroy allegedly head-butted, punched, and kicked the woman before threatening to kill her and cut out her tongue because she hummed along to another rapper's verse:
“He also wanted to cut out my tongue because I was singing the song.”
Onfroy was arrested on a separate aggravated battery case and while he was away, the woman had sex with another man. When Onfroy was released, the two moved to North Miami and there he allegedly threatened her with a glass bottle to tell him what happened with the other man.
Fast forward to October of this year, the woman found out she was pregnant. During that same month, Onfroy made a call to the man the woman had sex with and shortly after allegedly threatened to kill her and her unborn child before head-butting, punching, strangling her. The woman described her face as "distorted." When roommates arrived, she asked to be taken to the hospital, but instead was taken to an unfamiliar apartment where she was left in a bedroom for two days. She eventually escaped and was able to make a call to her ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend's mother took her to the Miami Beach police department. There she was questioned by Sgt. Amel Soto. When speaking about the incident of humming the song, Soto stated to Pitchfork:
“I had never in my entire career heard something like that.”
Onfroy has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is due in court on October 5th.
