The parents of a severely disabled woman suing a Colorado Springs school district over a sexual assault at a high school said the district has refused to mediate a civil lawsuit as one of its experts called the attack "pleasurable" for the woman.
Kalie McArthur, now 20 and with an IQ of about 50, was assaulted in September 2004 at Rampart High School by a 15-year-old boy assigned as a peer trainer, said Jeff Weeks, an attorney for the girl and her parents.
The boy, who had been suspended 20 times in the previous year and had a 0.0 grade point average, wasn't screened or trained and spent an unknown amount of time with McArthur, her parents, Cindy Starr and James McArthur said.
Starr and McArthur, who have joint custody of McArthur, agreed to allow the woman's name be used.
Nanette Anderson, spokeswoman for the district, and Francine Guesnier, an attorney for the district, both declined comment, citing a pending court case.
A school coach found the boy and McArthur in a closet, partially unclothed on Sept. 14, 2004, Weeks said. The boy pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual contact with a helpless victim in 2005, Weeks said.
On June 2, the family filed a federal suit against the school district.
Starr said they weren't told she had been paired with another student.
"About 10 days before the assault, we noticed bruises on her thighs," said Starr. "After the assault, she said there was groping and grabbing going on before the assault involving other boys as well."
Starr and McArthur wanted to resolve the case through mediation, but the district refused, Weeks said.
"A professional hired by the district said the assault was pleasurable, not traumatic," said Starr. "He said it ignited her female desires."
Starr and McArthur said Kalie's behavior toward men has changed since the assault.
"She was loving and trusting. She went everywhere with us," said Starr. "Now, it takes 100 percent of one person to manage her aggression."
Starr said Kalie is still sweet and friendly, but will grab men and pinch them. "She used to be passive and affectionate, now she's aggressive, especially toward males," said McArthur. "She could end up hurting someone, maybe a little boy."
How incredibly disgusting.
"A professional hired by the district said the assault was pleasurable, not traumatic," said Starr. "He said it ignited her female desires."
I'd like to throw this "professional" in jail and see if he feels the same way after an evening as somebody's b**ch....
The defense would NOT want me on a jury if I heard that.
Defies words.
I can only shake my head in disbelief and disgust.
Wonder if this professional ever used that defense when a male teacher molested a young boy. "Ignited his latent homosexual tendencies".
She has a 50 IQ! She's just a child mentally.
I wanna kick someone's butt. :(
What many freepers do not realize is that when a young blonde teacher has sex with some 15-year-old boy, the response of "Where was she when I was in school?" is really the same thing as what this expert said.
Celebrating the "good aspects" of a sexual assault is not a good idea.
That's honestly one of the sickest comments I've ever read. I hope the family gets millions!! Ggrrrrrr....

One wonders why vigilantes are a bad thing.
Give this professional a cranial injection of lead, if he continues to think this way
This guy should have his genitals "ignited" with gasoline.
This clown is obviously not the sharpest tool in the drawer --- but
He is still heads and shoulders smarter than the presumed adult who assigned him to a helpless girl as a peer ????!!!!???? trainer?
That idiot should not only be fired, but also do some serious jail time. That goes w-a-a-a-a-a-a-y beyond criminal negligence and plain incompetence.
It's beyond sick.
It's rape. Period, even if she had an IQ of 200, she wasn't consentual.
Hit the man with a board!
There was an entire armada of errors in even assigning the kid as a peer trainer.
And that's just from looking at his grades.
As for the supposed 'expert' who said it was 'traumatic' but 'pleasurable', he needs to get smacked with cold reality hard and in the face.
Perhaps they'd describe the situation the same way if it occured to a female member of their family?
Somehow I highly doubt that he would.
Deaf/Hard of Hearing ping list
with interests in health and society
I'll lay odds that this "prosfessional" is gay.
Find one with a big nail in it.
I note that, although the victim has been named, the supposed "professional" remains conveniently nameless (although I see downthread that he/she is given several new names)...
And you know who you are.
