A 19-year-old Georgia teen who was hospitalized and put on a ventilator in the ICU after a horrific alleged hazing incident has spoken out for the first time since the attack, describing how he “has a long road to go towards being fully recovered from the trauma”—while promising that “justice will be served.”
Trent Lehrkamp was dumped in front of the ER after being brutally abused by a group of his peers on Tuesday night. The teen thought he was going to have a “casual night” with friends, according to a GoFundMe set up to help out with the teen’s medical expenses.
Instead, he was covered in spray paint and other substances at a house party, according to the Daily Mail, and had 23 times the legal amount of alcohol in his system when he was dropped off at the ER. He was apparently deemed “inconclusive to life,” according to reports. The teen was put on a ventilator but was eventually able to breathe on his own, and is now in recovery.
