Girl Suspended For Being Raped, Attackers Kicked Out Of Drama Club

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/11/24/girl-suspended-for-being-raped-attackers-kicked-out-of-drama-club/

I wonder if it was a legitimate rape? Via Courthouse News:

DAYTON, Ohio (CN) – After two high school boys raped a girl on campus, the school suspended her for three days, while the boys’ only punishment was to be kicked out of drama club, the girl’s parent claim in Federal Court.

“On the afternoon of November 16, 2011, while waiting for drama club to begin, J.G. was sexually assaulted and raped by J.W. and D.W. in a storage closet at Trotwood-Madison High School,” the complaint states.

“After being attacked, J.G. reported the events to D.H. who was overseeing the drama club practice in the auditorium where the attack took place.
“D.H. drove J.G. home and failed to alert her parents that J.G. had been attacked at school.

“D.H. failed to immediately report the attack on J.G. to the public children’s services agency or the police department.”

You just have to hope this isn't accurate. That someone got something wrong... but the most likely scenario, I don't even have to mention. We all know, don't we? The most likely scenario is that no one believed her. Cause girls just love making up false rape allegations. Or so some types would have you think. Most of us know they're full of it. (excellent summary here: http://yesmeansyesblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/false-rape-allegations-are-rare/)

Why they so often spread such bullshit unchallenged is a whole other issue.

she was wearing (no matter if it was a burqa) and gang rape was the only possible outcome.

I'm really hoping this didn't happen as it did in the OP because it seems as though too many people have dropped too many balls on this.

I suppose we're supposed to be grateful they didn't take her out to the football field and start throwing stones at her.

and start throwing stones at her."

Indeed, that is exactly how some people act.

The local prosecutor should be recalled if this is being allowed. Rapists are not one time felons. They do it over and over again until someone MAKES them stop. I hope this girl and her family decide to push for more than this. Shitty results like this are what is destroying American civil security. I can't even let my kids walk around in the evening for fear of human monsters and their taste for the day.
These two "men" should be tattooed as rapists and locked up if they did it.


Has anyone ever suggested tattooing sex criminals with their offense? It might come in handy.

did I miss something, because nowhere in what I read was there a reason given for her being suspended?

as other posters have said, I hope there is something totally erroneous in that article, because, if events happened as reported, I hope she and her parents end up owning the school, and every dollar and possession the principal, the dram coach, and the two perps and their parents have, or are ever likely to have.
