The two had met up once before without incident, but the next time, Allen allegedly accused the woman of flirting with one of his friends, which set the abuse in motion. Apparently, Allen said he was holding her until the initial round of facial injuries healed. He took the victim back to the sorority house after she promised she wouldn't contact the police.

Unfortunately, this is the latest in a string of crimes committed either via, or involving, social apps including a rape broadcasted on Periscope, a domestic assault streamed online via Twitch and a suicide that also played out on Periscope.
