Mature responded by putting both hands around the girl’s neck and said, “You don’t want to mess with me.”
The victim’s friends were able to get the girl away and contact a cast member and her parents. The victim was willing to press charges.
Mature was arrested on charges of child abuse. She was released on a $2,000 bond. The victim did not show any sign of injury.
