   PLATTE CITY, Mo. — A Platte County jury has convicted a man of raping a   
   16-year-old girl while recording the incident on her cellphone.   
      
   Martese Johnson-Winters, 20, of Kansas City, was found guilty Wednesday of   
   first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and sexual exploitation of a minor   
   after a three-day jury trial.   
      
   "This man forced a teenager to have sex while pointing what she believed to be   
   a gun at her,” Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd said. “All   
   the while, he videotaped his act of rape with her cellphone, only adding to   
   the physical and    
   emotional trauma she suffers to this day."   
      
   Prosecutors proved that on Feb. 27, 2018, Johnson-Winters went to the   
   16-year-old girl's home in southern Platte County. Johnson-Winters and the   
   girl had been in an on-and-off romantic relationship for several months.   
      
   Prosecutors said Johnson-Winters accused the girl of cheating on him and   
   showed her what she believed was a handgun and showed her that it was loaded.   
      
   Prosecutors said he then pressed the gun against her face and body and forced   
   her to perform multiple sex acts. He recorded these crimes on the victim's   
   cellphone.   
      
   Prosecutors said Johnson-Winters was interviewed by a Platte County Sheriff's   
   Office deputy, and claimed the handgun was a lighter. He later claimed it was   
   a BB gun. He told the deputy that he had gotten rid of it, and it was never   
   located by authorities.   
      
   "This defendant tried to excuse his crimes by saying he'd been romantically   
   involved with his victim in the past,” Zahnd said. “But there is never an   
   excuse for rape. Forcing sex on another person is never justified."   
      
   The jury recommended sentences of 10 years in prison on the rape and sodomy   
   counts and five years in prison on the sexual exploitation charge. Under   
   Missouri law, Johnson-Winters' sentences must run consecutively.
