A teenager is accused of broadcasting the rape of her friend over the internet on the Periscope live-streaming app.
Marina Lonina, 18, has been indicted along with 29-year-old Raymond Gates for the alleged assault in Ohio on 27 February.
Franklin County prosecutors say the 17-year-old victim was attacked by Gates as she hung out with him and Lonina at a home in Columbus.
According to the indictment, Lonina filmed the assault on Periscope.
Prosecutors say one of Lonina's friends in another US state called the police after seeing the video the following day.
Lonina is also accused of taking nude photographs of the 17-year-old the night before the rape.
Both Lonina and Gates were indicted on charges of kidnapping, rape, sexual battery and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor.
Lonina was also indicted on charges of use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance.
Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien said if Gates and Lonina are convicted they could each face 40 years in prison.
