Trio Jailed for Brutal Kidnap and Savage Attack on Pregnant Teen
Harief Pearson, 22, his cousin Kydie McKenna, 22, and a 17-year-old accomplice have been locked up for a vicious assault that left a pregnant teen fighting for her unborn baby’s life.
Pregnant Teen Held Hostage and Attacked for Hours
The trio kidnapped the victim and kept her captive for hours at a Harlesden property on December 12 last year. During the terrifying ordeal, the two women punched, kicked, and stamped on the girl’s stomach, chest, and back in a brutal attempt to force a miscarriage.
The victim also suffered a ripped-off nail and had alcohol poured over her bloodied face. Pearson chillingly told the terrified 17-year-old, “It didn’t have to be like this,” before ordering his co-criminals, “I don’t think it’s dead yet, continue,” and then leaving the room.
Victim Miraculously Survives
Despite the savage assault, the young girl did not lose her baby.
