Videos posted to the internet showed a 13-year-old, who can't be named due to her age, standing in a room with just her bra and shorts on.
One of the girls could allegedly be seen punching the teen in the face multiple times, while another held a large knife which was used to menace and stab the adolescent.
Someone was seemingly filming the alleged torture in a bedroom.
The supposed victim was covered with bruises and cuts, and guarded herself with her arms.
The trio of teenage girls has since been charged.
A 14-year-old was charged with four counts of assault causing bodily harm, assault causing bodily harm with a weapon in the company of another, deprivation of liberty, entering a home and committing an indictable offence, armed robbery while in the company of another with personal violence, entering a premise and committing an indictable offence, and intentional damage.
She was taken into custody and will have to appear in court next month.
