In reply to the discussion: School District Claims Student ‘Was Herself Responsible’ For Being Raped [View all]wordpix
(18,652 posts)66. "serious consequences for our school district" ---let's hope there are consequences for those who
colluded to keep this quiet. "Multiple sex crimes"----did no adults at the school hear/see anything unusual? I've taught in schools most of my adult life and trust me, I've heard and seen plenty of things I've gone to admin's, school psychologists and social workers about, including teachers who abuse students, drug addicted parents, kids who are stoned coming to class...
People need to speak up when they see/hear something amiss, or even rumors that appear true when one sees a student with a certain teacher.

How does someone dress to attract assault? Sex I can understand, but rape isn't sex. n/t

The defense lawyers have a duty to defend, however much it may personally make them gag (or laugh).
