FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Trial is underway for a Hollywood man accused of sexually assaulting a teen girl after several several others beat her and then held her down.

The girl, who was only 16-years old at the time, said the beating and rape happened at Jayvon Woolfork's home on McKinley Street in 2013. She said she was hanging out with the teens when they began to assault her.

The teen told police that Patricia Montes, 17; Ericka Avery, 17; Dwight Henry, 18 and Lanel Singleton, 19, dragged her into a room and held her down while Woolfork raped her.

Part of the attack was captured on cell phone video.

The teen took the stand for more than hour on Tuesday. She testified that she was lured to the home, then maced, beaten and finally raped by Woolfork.

Woolfork, 20, claims he's innocent. He admits he did have sex with her but claims it was consensual.

During a hearing on June 4th, he rejected a plea deal in which he would have been sentenced to 15 years in prison. If convicted at trial, he could face a life sentence.

Montes, Avery, Henry and Singleton have all taken plea deals from the state.

Singleton and Henry pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery and one count of kidnapping.

Singleton was sentenced to four years in prison. Henry got two years because of his cooperation with prosecutors.

Avery pleaded guilty to armed sexual battery and kidnapping. She was sentenced to four years in prison as a youthful offender. Montes pleaded no contest to the same charges and was also sentenced to four years in a youth offender facility.
