18-year-old Deontaye Hamer was taken into custody for rape on May 7th. Officers responded to a North 7th Street residence regarding a sexual assault. They spoke with the 13-year-old victim, who, during their interview, stated her stepbrother, Hamer, entered her room. She stated he started rubbing her back and eventually tried to put his hands down her pants. Then, she said he turned off the lights, bent her over the bed, and pulled down her shorts, during which he licked her vagina and started to penetrate her with his fingers. She said she told him to stop, but he held her down and then forcibly penetrated her with his penis. She said she did not think his penis was entirely in but reiterated that he did insert it in her vagina. Then, she said he rubbed it on her back before receiving a call and leaving the room. Officers interviewed Hamer, and under Miranda, he admitted to having sexual contact with her, adding that it was mutual and that he only penetrated her with his fingers, not with his penis. Hamer was then detained for the occurrence.
Deontaye L Hamer was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 7th, charged with rape. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $25,000.
