High School Girl raped on auditorium, principle tried covering up

[Scorpio_G]

Um I'm sorry if this isnt the right place to put this but I thought this was a good place to put this. So Mods, move if you must.

Anyway a couple of days ago I've read an artical what happened in Columbus, Ohio in a High School where a slowly developed girl was brutaly raped on the auditorium stage. And the principle tried to cover it up. Please read the artical which explains the situation with more detail.


Witnesses Say Students Watched Girl's Sexual Assault At School

Officials Say Student Videotaped Abuse



UPDATED: 12:08 pm PDT April 13, 2005


COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Police say several students witnessed the sexual abuse of a girl at a Columbus high school.

A 16-year-old student with developmental delays said she was dragged into the auditorium of Mifflin High School, punched and forced to perform oral sex on at least two male students while more than a dozen other students were called in to watch.

One student reportedly videotaped the sex acts, WCMH-TV in Columbus reported.

A student witness reported hearing an attacker warn, "If you scream, I'll have my boys punch you."

The same witness said the girl then dropped to her knees after she was punched in the face.

Students scattered when help was called, officials said.

During the attack, one witness looked for a school security guard but could not find anyone, he told investigators.

"We went back to the auditorium; the victim was 'butt naked,"' the witness said, and someone "was on top of her."

The attackers then ran from the scene, and witnesses helped the girl get dressed before taking her to a security employee, who is not a police officer.

Mifflin High School officials who found her bleeding from the mouth March 9 did not call police, and an assistant principal cautioned the girl's father against calling 911 because the media might get involved, according to statements from school officials obtained by The Columbus Dispatch. But the girl's father insisted on calling police and contacted them later that afternoon.

Special education teacher Julie Calvario said the girl told her about the incident.

"(She said) she was scared and told him to stop, but he hit her in the head and told her to be quiet," Calvario said.

Even after administrators were alerted to the alleged criminal act, they did not call police, or the victim's father, WCMH reported.

More than an hour later, teacher Lisa Upshaw called the girl's father. Upshaw said that when the girl's father arrived, assistant principal Richard Watson would not call the police.

The girl's father demanded that school officials call the police.

"Mr. Watson said, 'No we don't want to do that, we don't want the police,"' Upshaw told the investigator.

In his statement, Watson said he told the father to "go ahead and call," but not to call 911 because the "news channel might tape his daughter and cause her further mental trauma."

Richard Watson is one of three assistant principals suspended for 10 days. Principal Regina Crenshaw will likely lose her job, WCMH reported.

The girl's father called police after Upshaw told him, "This is child abuse. She needs medical attention and this is wrong."

WCMH reported that Upshaw also told the girl's father that he needed to take the victim to the hospital and that she was a walking crime scene.

Administrators reportedly warned the father that if police were called, the news media would follow, WCMH reported.

Police said they now have the videotape and the investigation continues, although no charges have been filed so far.
Obviously I was pretty mad for this to happen and was angry that no charges havent been filled still. Then a aquantance of mine made a petionion at Online petition to order the govenor of Ohio to convict the men who victimised that poor girl and charge them. And to stop school violence and keep our public schools safe.

Would you people please be so kind and contribute to his petition. He's very serious in bringing justice to the victum and he and including the other people who signed want to stop stuff like this from happening again and bring an end to school violence. Here is his petition link: http://www.petitiononline.com/StandUp/petition.html

Thank you very much for reading this.


(Ps: I'm not new here. I've been here for a while. I just lurk here but I really wanted to tell you guys about this.)

I hope she's ok. . . people are just too sick. . .i hope those sick ' boys ' get what they deserve. . .a nice lifetime in hell. . .I really hope she is ok. . . . . stupid ass principles. . .not calling the police. . .rediculous. . .

[Wild Goose]

Well.

Sad case, this. Apparently the administrators were too worried about negative press...

Were it to happen here, for all the talk about backwards Muslim nations (and Malaysia's pretty forward-thinking), the school officials would have called the cops.

If it was in my brother's school, the principal would have taken that girl to the hospital and police station herself, she's that kind of person... of course, it wouldn't happen because of the high standards of discipline that are enforced.

[Speedy Boris]

Ugh. Anyone who makes fun of slow kids is despicable, but to force them into sexual situations to boot?! And very few wanted any disciplinary action done? That is sick. The whole thing is an ugly mess, and it definitely lowers my view of humanity a peg.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

:crying::crying::crying::crying:

May wild wolverines feast on their entrails for an eternity.

[BluFire1213]

:crying::crying::crying::crying:

May wild wolverines feast on their entrails for an eternity.I highly agree with you. . .

[Metroid_spy]

I feel bad for the girl. Sad... People are just too brutal and too ... whats the word.. uh... sick?? Can't think of any other word to describe this.

[Beguiled]

:crying::crying::crying::crying:

May wild wolverines feast on their entrails for an eternity.
I couldn't have said it better.

That's just horrible. To think people are that sick and would take advantage like that. It just disgusts me. :mad: :crying: I hope she'll be okay. :(

[Fresh V]

I feel bad for the girl. Sad... People are just too brutal and too ... whats the word.. uh... sick?? Can't think of any other word to describe this.
Grotesque, cruel, evil, stupid, emotionally affecting, weird, and other stuff......

[Wounded_Dragon]

I draw some solace that other students sought out help for her and that a teacher encouraged the father to do what he needed to.

Still, a pox on the attackers. May their sexual organs burn in unholy agony until the cosmos crumbles

[Demonic Raven]

Ugh...that's really terrible. I hate reading about these things...it really goes to show how ugly humanity can be.

[Fresh V]

Did they do this during school hours? It doesn't seem to be. They'd definately be caught if they did.

[Squall]

Terrible, terrible. :( I read this news on http://www.joannejacobs.com/ -- a favorite hub of mine for education news.

How poisioned has U.S. culture become? I don't know what's worse -- the fact that so many students had no qualms about doing this to this girl, or the fact that the administrators wanted to cover it up...

[okendri]

This sounds like something that would happen on Law and Order:SVU. I'm not too outraged about the students not doing anything. They probably were too shocked to do anything or didn't want to get involved. There have been cases where witness have turned a blind eye to events like that. What really burns me is the administration not even wanting to tell the dad because they are worried about negative press coverage. They just made the situation ten times worse by following that line of thinking.

[Wounded_Dragon]

How poisioned has U.S. culture become? I don't know what's worse -- the fact that so many students had no qualms about doing this to this girl, or the fact that the administrators wanted to cover it up...
I'd go with the administrators. They don't have the bystander effect excuse. Instead, they tacitly excused the behavior by trying to sweep it under the rug. They're also the adults in charge. If I didn't think it was overkill, I'd charge them with obstruction of justice.

[Fone Bone]

I hope she's ok. . . people are just too sick. . .i hope those sick ' boys ' get what they deserve. . .a nice lifetime in hell. . .I really hope she is ok. . . . . stupid ass principles. . .not calling the police. . .rediculous. . . I would so sue them. . may god be with her. . .She was " mental " too. . . poor thing. .that is just pure evil. . :shrug:Could you please not call her mental? That's not a very nice word and I know you or I haven't met her so that's pure speculation.

This is a very sad thing. I can believe some male students would do this easily. Oral sex doesn't have ANY stigma nowadays and a lot of kids think it is no worse than kissing. Thuggish behavior is shown on TV and other places to be something that surrounds you with beautiful women. I'm not saying those boys have no culpability though. There is a point where someone should know right from wrong and if they follow evil impulses they should be held accountable. I hope they are tried for rape as adults and sent to prison. They would probably grow up a lot faster there.

The places where society ends up often makes me sad.

The principal is the person I really can't believe. This poor girl was violated and humiliated and they try to cover it up? I'm a little bit sick of stories like this from schools and churches. Set a good example, people.

[Fan of Sponge]

I heard it on the local news lately. The principle did get fired from the job and the father whats some justice served with the others facing charges and even suspending teacher linences for some who tried to cover it up. What's even worse is that the girl was mentally retarded. The girl is now at another Columbus school district. Probably the reason why the principle tried to cover it up is that the school won't look bad and be another black eye for the public schools.:mad:

[Weatherman]

"Culture" is certainly no excuse for committing a vile, violent act of sexual assault, nor is the potential for "bad press" an reason to participate in a coverup. I hope the school administration is brought up on charges of conspiracy to cover up a crime, that the guy who did this gets the book thrown at him and that thewitness get charged with a coverup as well for not reportign what was going on immediantely. This is just disgusting.:mad:

[Czar Gato]

How vile and despicable. :mad:

[Mek]

.... Each day, I despise humanity a little more.

[MahouShoujo13]

Ugh. That's just...disgusting. And sick, vile, despicable....and to do that to a girl slowly developing.

It was good for one teacher to urge the father to call, and the witnesses to help the girl, but what stupid principals. Not to call the police because of the media. Of course they should, the girl's in trouble, and serves the school right for having kids like this.

I hope the people who did this get convicted as adults.

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

And when I was in high school, all we had to worry about were:

drugs
smoking
bullying
alcohol (one teacher I had, and that my brother had and that one of our aunts had, always had the same Diet Pepsi can filled with Jack, if memory serves me right)

We didn't have to worry about others sexually abusing or harassing anyone. Mind you, what we had to worry about was stupid as well.

Chee.. I am glad that we don't have many crimes up here.

Before they go to jail, they should be poked in the eyes with leaky pens.

[LightShadow1890]

And I cannot believed students actually found what happened entertaining: the raping of a minor, especially one who is slow in developing.

What surprises me is that the principles did nothing, just for the sake of media. Hello, what's more important: The publicity of the district, or the safety of students?

I hope the students who violated her who die in the fires of hell.

[ToOn~g@l]

Those people who did that to her have some sick minds. What did she even do to them? annoy them because she was slowly developed? Thats a poor reason if that was the case. These people need to have their head examined or put into an insane assylum because that is just wrong. And that principle should be fired.

[Youko Recca]

It's events like this that made Sensui the way he is.


Yeah, it's vile and whatever, but my problem is with the suits and the people who were there(I know the offender will get what he has coming to him). Come on now. If I saw a poor, defenceless girl getting raped on the stage I wouldn't stare on in awe. Many of them probally cringe while watching porn. Sure it's right infront of you and it's shocking, but damn come on! Go over and whoop the dude's ass. Try that around ME! Guarantee your ass is half dead before you unbuckly your belt. I hate raping of a female almost as much as I do suicide.

[SirLemming]

Really I just feel like vomiting.

Anyhow, no comment on the topic. I'm at... a loss of words. And, not in the manner that I'm disappointed, just, I don't feel like commenting.

[Yash]

This is why I've come to despise humanity. May God smite thee.

The thing is, the principal is just as much a villain by trying to cover this up as the people who did it. Negative press, woo. I agree, a few less enrollments is such a high price to pay for taking legal action on the offenders.

Burn in hell, jackass(es) :mad:

[Phantasm]

This is just sad. A shame to see people stoop down so low!:sad:

[BluFire1213]

yeah, it's amazing how many sick people are really out there. . .it's such a shame. . . they not only make others suffer, they also make them selves live with what they've done. .

[Eibhlin]

This disgusting event brings back memories of the boys who raped the retarded girl with a mini bat and a broom handle in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. That was a vile and sickening act, but this is worse, because the adults in charge that should have protected her failed the girl when she needed them the most.

I'm glad the principal has been fired. It is a lot less than what he deserves for trying to cover this up from the police.

And for the kid that videotaped it, how sick and revolting is THAT? Was he trying to get his jollies by taping the assault on a helpless girl?

[BrendaBat]

I just can't believe this. It makes me sick to know that this kind of thing can happen in a school. I'm also disturbed that one of the administrators who wanted to cover up the rape was a woman. I think I speak for all women here on TZ when I say that I cannot fathom how another woman could defend a rapist. Thats just asking for BAD karma!

School is supposed to be a place where kids can feel safe. And its the school administrators' number one job is to protect the students. ESPECIALLY handicapped students like that poor girl.

The principal and his cohorts should not only lose their jobs and teaching licences; but they should serve time in prison as well. They chose covering their asses over the health and safety of a student. They KNEW a crime took place and that there was evidence to put the bastards away but they still chose protecting rapists over protecting a victim. If that isn't criminal, I don't know what is.
Not only was trying to cover up the crime unfair to the rape victim. It put all the other girls at that school at risk!! If the principal had succeeded in covering up the crime; it would have just given those monsters carte blanche to attack another girl. What the HELL were they thinking!? :mad:

If it were up to me, those kids would go to prison, too!Well, put. Although I AM convinced that most kids nowadays don't think oral sex is that big a deal (why else would NO ONE help?) maybe jail time for all of the witnesses would convince them of that. I'm sure THEY would greatly dislike having to perform oral sex in prison.

[Speedy Boris]

Although I AM convinced that most kids nowadays don't think oral sex is that big a deal (why else would NO ONE help?) Sadly, it's not viewed as a big deal. All the barriers are down. There are kids as young as 12 or 13 getting into that. It's the new necking, apparently. The way I figure it, anything sexual involving the sex organs is sex. Without getting too frank, I'll leave it at that.

[sun]

I feel bad for the girl. Sad... People are just too brutal and too ... whats the word.. uh... sick?? Can't think of any other word to describe this.Metroid has tried and got it about right, brutal and sick, but what people do to each other, not just in this case, (which is horrible) but what has happend to people in other casees, where there were authority figures, and they did nothing, in fact, some even participated in the brutal behavior...No, I wish I had an answer..don't:(
And since I spent a long times in high schools, please do not be surprised that anything can happen in one...Sorry, this is not the 50s anymore. Things have changed...Schools now have "metal dectors" I ask you, Why?:(

[Malex]

Although I AM convinced that most kids nowadays don't think oral sex is that big a dealAfter overhearing a few 14-year-old girls talking about being in orgies the previous weekend, nothing sexual can surprise me anymore.

However this was just horrible. A mentally handicapped girl was raped in front of a crowd of people AND the administration wanted to hide this! I thought a girl getting raped in a school filled with people that did not hear a thing was bad enough, but this is makes everything else just bad. Who in their right minds would just watch this happen or let this be unknown? What has society become? Is it because we begin to see more of the horrors of the world through the coverage of media or is it because of the media itself? Whatever the reason is, I wish that the young men get to learn what happens when you force yourself on a woman. There is nothing more deplorable than harming a woman sexually or physically. NOTHING.

[JetMaster5]

Hold up. Why is the principal getting fired for this? From what I've read, the principal didn't even appear in that incident.
Second, why didn't they take the girl to the hospital first? Like the assistant principal said, she's a walking crime scene.
If this article is trying to go for the whole "principal cover-up" sequence, then this article has some flaws.

Third, quit doing online petitions. It doesn't work except reading it for entertainment. If you're really serious about doing a petition, use the old-fashioned pen and paper and actually try to get other people to sign it.

And more importantly, fourth, why are some of you guys losing faith in humanity more just because some group of immature fools did something stupid? What about the rest of the humans who aren't as lowlife as they are?

[Spike Mcdougal]

What exactly is developmental delays?


Those that are saying you're losing faith in humanity I dont blame you. It seems like every day I hear something that reminds me how much our society is going to hell

[Wild Goose]

The following should be done to those rapists: shove them into a torpedo tube with 300kg of high explosives, and fire everything out into the sea.

If the drowning doesn't kill them, there's the barometric pressure, the explosives, the fact that ocean water at 500 feet deep is icy cold, and that they'll end up being boradsided by the sub's hull in a few minutes. Five ways to die. but only one needs to work.

Alternatvily, one could merely castrate them.... annd if a certain cop were aroung, he'd have chanted "Aku, Soku, Zan," and run them through with his katana.

[Fone Bone]

Hold up. Why is the principal getting fired for this? From what I've read, the principal didn't even appear in that incident. According to the article he tried to cover it up or was at least a party to it.
Second, why didn't they take the girl to the hospital first? Like the assistant principal said, she's a walking crime scene. Because they were stupid.
If this article is trying to go for the whole "principal cover-up" sequence, then this article has some flaws. Could you please be more specific? I didn't really see anything and I'm curious as to where you're coming from.

Third, quit doing online petitions. It doesn't work except reading it for entertainment. If you're really serious about doing a petition, use the old-fashioned pen and paper and actually try to get other people to sign it. I agree wholeheartedly with this.

And more importantly, fourth, why are some of you guys losing faith in humanity more just because some group of immature fools did something stupid? What about the rest of the humans who aren't as lowlife as they are?Personally? I'm not losing faith in humanity. Probably because it isn't all that strong to begin with. The news is full of horrible people doing horrible things. I know some of that is to scare people to get ratings but I can't help being disgusted at a lot of the stuff I hear. I've known people who were on the news. The news often says bad stuff about people and a lot of it is only half true. I can understand someone misconstrueing what happened at this school and reporting it biasedly. But then I see that it happened in an auditorium full of people and no-one helped and I can't help being angry.

I do think however that a lot of people are going a little overboard with death penalty wishes. Like rape, death should be taken very seriously and I don't like the idea of people calling for these people's blood after they haven't even been to trial or pled guilty yet.

[JetMaster5]

According to the article he tried to cover it up or was at least a party to it.
But where, specifically, in the article, did it said that the principal tried to cover things up? All I saw was that a single assistant principal did the covering. The article never mentioned anything about the principal except "Principal Regina Crenshaw will likely lose her job". They never said why she's likely to lose her job. If there's another article that said that the principal tried to not contact the police, I'd like to see it.

Could you please be more specific? I didn't really see anything and I'm curious as to where you're coming from.
Well, when I reread the article, I realized I was too quick to judge that the article was going for the cover-up incident. So I was wrong on that angle. I'm more angry at the misleading thread title ("principle tried covering up") than the article itself.

Much worse things have happened that haven't been reported, I'm sure. Blaming everyone on Earth for it won't get anything done. After all, it is just a few minds, which pale in comparison to the many billions of minds on this planet, committing crimes like this.

And, if you don't know what developmental delays are, then you need to go back...

The title says it all. DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS. Think for a second. Delays in development. Development of what? The brain.

Administrative system covering it up:

Even after administrators were alerted to the alleged criminal act, they did not call police, or the victim's father, WCMH reported.

More than an hour later, teacher Lisa Upshaw called the girl's father. Upshaw said that when the girl's father arrived, assistant principal Richard Watson would not call the police.

The girl's father demanded that school officials call the police.

"Mr. Watson said, 'No we don't want to do that, we don't want the police,"' Upshaw told the investigator.

In his statement, Watson said he told the father to "go ahead and call," but not to call 911 because the "news channel might tape his daughter and cause her further mental trauma."

[Scorpio_G]

Sorry I didnt respond sooner but I had to step away from the computer for a few days to help my mother out with moving.:sweat:

But I noticed some stuff that came up while reading some of the responses so I wanted to clear up a few things.

For one. The person who made this petition is named Higher-Jin a person I know from another forum whom made this petition for two reasons. One was to not let this story go into media obscurity and to show the victum's family that we support them and hope they get fair justice. If this petition never even sees the governor's desk he says it's alright. He's doing it for the girl.

But I hate being the middle man er girl and it would be better if you read his reasonings for this petition. So if you want go to this link: http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88113&page=2&pp=15 for more information on the petition and from the person who started it.

For the people who are losing faith in humanity I'll say this. This probably happened before in different circumstances and in different time periods so this isnt so new. However, because of the severity and how the administration, who held more power than the students in the auditorium, handled the situation by covering up is making so many people angry. And besides if humanity was bad as some of you are saying this petition wouldnt had been made. Besides in life there are good apples and bad.

Err...I think I covered everything. BTW thank you for anyone from here who signed the petition. :)

[Lord Dalek]

This is disgusting.

[cross blues]

I agree that this is a horrible thing... but it is by no means the only rape that has occurred this year. sexual abuse, child abuse, incest and rape... that stuff happens every day. I have learned to accept this. I also think that in the United States, males are socialized to be aggressive and factors like peer pressure most likely played a role.

still... they knew what they were doing was wrong. each man must be held accountable for his actions. and I have to admit (as wrong as it is) that I would feel a bit of relief if the girl's father went on a rampage and brutally murdered the rapists, the observers, and the camera man. fear of retribution might be the only thing that would prevent things like this from happening in the future. knowing right from wrong just doesn't seem to be enough any more.

[JetMaster5]

Administrative system covering it up:
From what I've seen, the only words that are directly connected to the Administrative System cover-up are "administrators" and "assistant prinicipal". And seeing as how only a single "assistant principal" is repeatedly mentioned throughout the article, and the word "administrators" can be a bit vague, I'm not that eager to jump to conclusions that fast.

All I'm saying is there's a problem with this article.
