Heading: The child's account

Text: The child's account differed from Andrea's in several ways. She agreed that the incident began when Andrea saw videos of her hanging out [with a friend] early in the morning. She said that Andrea told her to sit on a game chair and started hitting [her] with [a] belt. The child testified that instead of being plain leather, the belt was studded with metal stars. She also said that Andrea hit her a few times ... in the face in addition to her legs and arms. She said that when she tried to shield her face with her hands, Andrea pushed her hands aside, and that Andrea's fiancé assisted throughout much of the incident by restraining her while Andrea continued the beating. She also testified that Andrea put her hands around her neck. The child said that at some point Andrea threw [a cup of juice] all over her, then told her to take a shower. The child stated that Andrea continued beating her while spraying her with the shower handset.
