Exclusive: Beaten Florida Cheerleader Speaks Out

"I didn't know what to say," he said. "Words failed me at that moment."

The brutal beating of 17-year-old Victoria Lindsay on March 30 was caught on videotape.

Lindsay's parents' outrage and torment was made worse when the video of Lindsay's beating played on television and Web sites around the world.

"I was angry," Talisa said while fighting back tears. "How could somebody do that to my little girl? And how could people walk away feeling good about it? Videotaping it and thinking it's funny and hilarious. It's not funny."

Lasting Wounds

Seven months later, Lindsay still feels the physical effects of the attack.

"My ears are fine," she said. "It kind of felt like something was stuck in it after a while, but that went away eventually. The only thing I don't like is... my eye. It's still kind of blurry. But I think glasses may help that."

More than any physical reminders, Lindsay's emotional scarring was intense and her ability to trust has suffered.

"It knocks it down and it breaks it apart," she said. "And it's hard for me. I get kind of scared when I'm in situations where I don't know certain people. And when I see people fighting, it really angers me."

Lindsay is unsure why the girls decided to attack her.

"I was thinking, 'what did I do to them for them to do this to me?'... I thought it had a lot to do with jealousy at the time. A lot of it had to do with boys," she said. "I didn't have any explanation why, and I really still don't. But I'm hoping to find out."

Some of the girls said the incident occured in retaliation for Lindsay's trash-talking and threatening them online. Lindsay denies the accusation.

In April eight teens were arrested and charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor battery charges.

Only five of the teens are currently charged, and they have all pleaded not guilty.
