Girl Forced to Apologize to Boy Who Raped Her

[one...two...tree 2,762]

A special ed girl in a Missouri middle school reported that she was raped a couple of years ago. But school officials insisted that her story was made up and badgered her into recanting:

Following instructions from the school,

the girl wrote an apology to the boy she accused of raping her and had to personally give it to him,

according to the lawsuit. She was then expelled for the remainder of the 2008-09 school year....The girl returned to the middle school for the 2009-10 school year and tried to avoid the boy, according to the lawsuit. It didn't work. She was sexually assaulted again [in the school library] but didn't tell anyone because she was afraid of being expelled again.

....School officials were notified of the incident and allegedly doubted the girl's claim, saying they'd "already been through this," according to the lawsuit. The girl was also examined and found to have been sexually assaulted. However,

she was suspended from school for "disrespectful conduct" and "public display of affection," her lawyers wrote in the lawsuit.

I'll grant that it's impossible to know for sure what happened based on just one side of the story. Still, a forensic exam after the second rape showed that the girl had indeed been sexually assaulted, a DNA match was made to the boy she had accused of raping her, and the boy then pleaded guilty to charges in juvenile court. But the school district continues to say that it bears no responsibility for any of this.

They'll probably end up getting married in about four years.

I am going to guess the girl is white. Let me know if I am wrong.

I am going to guess the girl is white. Let me know if I am wrong.

And how is this relevant?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

And how is this relevant?

It isn't. Let me know if I'm wrong.

[nane1104 146]

That raises the question....did the parents believe her? And if yes (I'd hope), why did they let the girl go back to the same school?

That's a damn shame!

This calls out for a ####### Walk!

Lets speculate instead the girl is black.. and the accused rapist is white...... any chance the school would have badgered her to write that letter?

[Darnell 8,478]

is she age appropriate for her peer group, at that school ?

some special needs kids who are main-lined into the general school populace, are in classes that are developmentally appropriate, but they be years older than their peers.

sex in a middle school? what?

[Golden Gate 530]

To me, the point is that it wasn't dealt with effectively by the school district, and they attempted to shove it under the rug. Oh, and this type of thing happens whether the student is white, black or whatever. I have seen it happen in my district.

No no you must be mistaken. It's clearly about race. Wasn't that clear from the outset? I mean "initials" are obviously tinged with race, right?

The 23-page suit only identifies the girl, her mother, and the boy by initials.

[sandinista! 1,816]

Your questions in these circumstances are completely asinine. Her age, and how it compares to the kids around her at school are completely irrelevant. And no, there was no "sex in middle school". There was rape in middle school.

Are you purposely ignoring the Asians here? Why can't it be an Asian guy?

Was in response to Gary's smug remark.
