A Langham Creek High School freshman who said he's the victim of a hate crime is speaking out.
Jayron Martin said he begged two principals at his school and his bus driver for help before he was hit repeatedly with a metal pipe.

According to the 16-year-old, the attack took place off campus. He said a fellow student beat him after school while eight others stood around and watched. Martin believes he was beaten because hes gay.
All they kept saying was, We going to get you. We going to fight you, and all that and so when they started coming after me they were like, Youre not going to be gay anymore. They just kept hitting me, he said.
Hours before the incident, Martin said a friend told him a group was planning to attack him. The teen said he talked with two administrators about his concerns. The administrators took a written statement from him, said Martin.
I sat down in the cafeteria and I started writing the letter and so then I handed it to them and they said, We are going to call yall down and stuff like that, he said.
Martin said he was never called to the office, and the administrator didnt call his mother.
At the end of the school day, Martin said he rode the bus home. The group threatening Martin was riding the same bus. Martin said he told his bus driver, but nothing happened. The teen said the group ran after him as he got off the bus.
