A transgender girl was stabbed nine times at a roller skating party in revenge for lying about her gender identity before performing a sex act on a boy, a court has heard
The 18-year-old aspiring model was lured to a roller disco where she was set upon by a masked mob screaming 'tranny' as five teenagers punched, kicked and stamped on the victim who collapsed after being knifed repeatedly by a teenage girl.
In a brutal 45-second attack which was filmed and plotted on Snapchat, the victim was punched to the ground where she was kicked at least seven times by 19-year-old Summer Betts-Ramsey before she pulled out a knife.
While the victim lay helpless, Betts-Ramsey lunged at her 14 times, knifing the victim in the nose, thigh, hand, and buttocks on February 10 last year.
Other teenagers rained down blows, beating her with a pair of roller skates and boots before snatching her handbag and fleeing, leaving the victim in a pool of blood.
The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, only survived the attack at Harrow Leisure Centre after a member of the public intervened to stop Betts-Ramsey stamping on her head and called an ambulance.
Afterwards Betts-Ramsey, now 20, boasted about the stabbing, posting a story on Snapchat with footage from the attack and laughing emojis, telling friends: 'I'm going jail… bro I stabbed her 12 times.'
Others taunted the victim sending messages saying: 'Ur looking sweet.'
