In a recent incident in Florida, police have apprehended a teenager accused of assaulting a pregnant woman by kicking her in the stomach.

The Boynton Beach Police Department has charged 18-year-old Victoria Webb with aggravated battery on a pregnant individual and child abuse with aggravated cruelty.

This incident unfolded on January 19 at a home on Southwest Fourth Avenue in Boynton Beach, a city within the Miami metropolitan area, as detailed in a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime.

According to the affidavit, the confrontation began when the victim attempted to intervene in a physical dispute between Webb and a younger boy, who Webb was reportedly striking.

Upon arrival, the police found the victim “visibly upset and crying,” as stated in the official report.

“While separating the two [the victim] was struck in the face, an injury was observed, and then reported to have been kicked in the stomach,” the charging document reads. “It should be noted that [the victim] is six months pregnant at the time of this report.”

The responding officer then interviewed the little boy in question, who described what immediately led up to the altercation.

“[The child] stated that he and another juvenile were squirting water around, at which point Ms. Webb became upset,” the affidavit goes on. “[The child] noted that Ms. Webb was holding his head down to the point that he was having difficulty breathing. It should be noted that there is a sizeable age difference between the two. [The child] was also very upset and crying.”

Prior to those witness interviews, the defendant herself was found, according to the affidavit. Police said Webb was walking away from the residence while speaking on the phone, saying, “I’m on that.” She was subsequently arrested and detained in a patrol car.

After receiving her Miranda rights, the defendant allegedly admitted to the attack, police said.

“Ms. Webb stated she was aware [the victim] was pregnant, but did not care because if she were hit, she would hit back,” the affidavit continues. “When asked what ‘I’m on that’ means, Ms. Webb advised that it means she doesn’t care and will hit back if someone hits her.”

As the custodial interview went on, the defendant reportedly said she had been hit by the pregnant woman during the fracas, as opposed to just incidentally struck during the pregnant woman’s effort to break up the altercation, though police doubted this account.

The defendant also said she had been attacked with a blow dryer, “but did not have any visible injury from being struck with a blunt object,” the affidavit says, adding that “Webb did have a single facial scratch, consistent with the altercation.”

Finally, the victim’s husband was interviewed, who gave an account consistent with the narrative provided by his wife, police said.

Webb was then detained in the Palm Beach County Jail. She posted bond on Thursday and is next slated to appear in court on Feb. 18. The initial hearing in her case is scheduled for March 12.
