Benavides had sex with the 29-year-old woman and recorded the encounter, according to the Express-News. The woman sat with her hands over her face and sobbed as the video played.
“Mark, it hurts! You’re hurting me…Don't be so rough,” the woman said in the recorded video played for jurors. Benavides could reportedly be heard yelling at the woman to “come back here.”
The graphic nature of the video and the jurors’ reaction forced District Judge Dick Alcala to give jurors a break, according to the newspaper. As the jurors exited the courtroom, one woman fainted and was later replaced by an alternate.
