Four students are accused of brutally beating Adriana Kuch before the suicide of a 14-year-old girl.

Four New Jersey teenage girls were charged with a brutal beating that the family said forced 14-year-old Adriana Cooch to take her own life.

One was charged with aggravated assault, another with stalking, and two others with conspiracy to commit aggravated assault by Ocean County Attorney Bradley D. Billheimer. told NBC News on Friday.

“Each juvenile and their guardian was given a copy of their complaint and released pending future court appearances,” Billheimer said.

Although the names of the students have not been released, it is likely that they are four girls who were previously suspended from high school and charged with much less serious crimes – three were initially slapped for third-degree assault, and the fourth was charged with disorderly conduct.

The video showed the group mercilessly attacking Adriana in the hallway of their Central Regional High School as she walked with her boyfriend on February 1st.

The attackers doused Adriana with a drink, kicked and punched her, and dragged her down the corridor. They pushed her into the lockers, pulled her hair, and hit her with a 20-ounce water bottle to the laughter of onlookers.

Adriana’s father said that during the beating she lost consciousness and was left covered in bruises.

“That’s what you get, you stupid s… s… x!” in the 20-second video, one person is heard screaming.

According to Adriana’s father, one of the girls who recorded the attack sent a text to Adriana taunting her for “dripping blood” and making her “outraged”.

Adriana killed herself in a closet at her home in Berkeley Township hours after the message was delivered.

“They used the video to keep harassing her, bullying and making fun of her,” Michael Cooch told The Post on Friday.

Kuch believes his daughter’s suicide was caused by severe bullying that continued even after her death – one of the teenage girls involved in the attack has posted disrespectful Snapchat posts in the past few days, he claimed.

Other parents have stated that bullying is a widespread problem at the Central Regional High School. One parent who said her daughter was attacked by students despite asking staff for help, launched a petition on Change.org “Stop Violence” in the school and collected more than 8300 signatures.

More than 200 students protested outside the school on Friday due to the district’s alleged inaction – the school did not call the police or an ambulance after Adriana’s attack, despite her father’s claim that she was unconscious and covered in bruises.
