Investigators said the victim apparently posted something against the six girls on MySpace before she was lured to the home by a phone call from teen Mercedes Nichols.
Police said the girl traveled to the house and walked into the trap.
One girl met her at the door and five others were hiding in a back room, detectives said. The girls were then seen on video pummeling the girl in the face and body and slamming her head into a wall.
As the videotape rolled, a girl's voice is heard yelling "There is only 17 seconds left; make it good."
Police said the girls wanted to post the video on YouTube and MySpace.
Maximum sentence is life in prison.
