3 charged after boy kidnapped at gunpoint, forced to dance nude on Facebook livestream

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC/Gray News) - Three Tennessee men are facing multiple felony charges after they allegedly kidnapped an underage boy at gunpoint and forced him to dance while nude on a Facebook livestream.

Kameron Eggleston, 22, and Wardell Bufford, 23, are both in custody and charged with especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault (acting in concert), sexual solicitation of a minor and especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor.

Damon Frazier, 21, is facing the same felony charges but had not been booked as of Wednesday afternoon.

Memphis Police received a tip last Monday about a Facebook livestream that allegedly showed a fully nude, underage boy who was assaulted and forced to dance while held at gunpoint.

Officers found and met with the victim, who told police the incident began when three men arrived at his apartment looking for his friend, who wasn’t home. The victim said the group forcibly pulled him outside after he told them he didn’t know where his friend was.

Video evidence reportedly shows Frazier ripping off the boy’s clothes before Eggleston holds the victim at gunpoint and forces him into a blue Honda.

Bufford, the alleged driver, then drove the victim and the other two suspects to Greenbriar Apartments in Frayser, where Eggleston reportedly began streaming himself assaulting the naked victim.

Police say that in the Facebook Live video, Eggleston also forced the victim to dance while exposed and pointed a firearm at his face while saying, “I’ll kill you right now.”

Bufford and Eggleston were booked Wednesday. The former is being held at the Shelby County Jail on a $500,000 bond, while the latter is being held on a $400,000 bond. Both men are set to appear in court Thursday.
