Turk, her voice shaking, spoke publicly for the first time about what happened to her in 2020.
"He started to choke me," Turk said. "At that point I had to take my hands off my face, because I was trying to grab his hands to make him let me go. I told him, 'I can't breathe!' He let go for a split second and I thought that was the end of it. But then he started choking me again, and I was screaming for him to get off me.
"He eventually let me go, and when he did I crawled into the bathroom and started bawling."
Turk reported Demas's alleged multiple assaults to A&M police in November 2020.
A little more than a year ago Turk's mother, Iesha Turk, tried reaching out to the A&M football program to discuss Demas' alleged abuse of her daughter. She specifically tried contacting Dameyune Craig, who is Demas's position coach.
Brianna said Craig had shown up to Demas' apartment in November 2020 to visit with Demas about the receiver leaving an Aggies practice early and saying he intended to transfer because of lack of playing time.
After Craig left, Brianna said Demas abused her worse than before including the choking and leaving her with a scratched, bloody leg and a black eye.
"No one ever reached out (from A&M football), and I had sent them a picture of her (bruised) face," Iesha said. "I have never heard back from anyone from the football staff."
