LAKELAND, Fla. -- The mother of one of the teens accused in the videotaped beating of a Central Florida girl has filed a notice to sue the Polk County Sheriff for making defamatory remarks. Seventeen-year-old Mercades Nichols and four other teen girls were arrested in April and accused of attacking 16-year-old Victoria Lindsay. The attack was recorded on video and broadcast around the world. The girls were charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor battery. Nichols' mother has filed a notice to sue Sheriff Grady Judd for failing to handle the arrest of the teens "with integrity and a degree of care" that would have protected them "against unfair treatment and exposure." The sheriff's office has six months to respond to the notice. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
