(AP) WEARE, N.H. First, a father was charged with beating up his daughter's boyfriend last week after learning the two had sex. Now, police are preparing to charge the boy with sexual assault.
The 17-year-old boy from Henniker, who admitted to having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend, will "absolutely" be charged, police said.
Weare Detective Lou Chatel said the boy will be charged as an adult and could face up to a year in jail.
Both teens admitted to having sex during school hours on Sept. 10, but off school property, Chatel said. That afternoon, he said, the girl's father went to John Stark Regional High School and attacked the boy.
School had just let out and the parking lot was filled with students and parents.
The boy suffered cuts and bruises and received two stitches to his face. The father was charged with simple assault.
It all began that morning when the girl did not show up for her first class, even though she had been seen at school.
School officials searched the building, then put out a school-wide page. When the girl didn't respond, they called her parents.
Principal Michael Turmelle the parents helped search for their daughter, called her cell phone and coordinated with school officials.
The teens returned to school at the same time, through separate doors.
The principal said he's upset at the number of people who have sided with the father.
"We all work so hard to give our kids a safe place to go to," he said. "Any time we have an act of violence, it's very upsetting because it is completely antithetical to what we're trying to accomplish."
The girl and her siblings have transferred to another school, Turmelle said.

Wow....it’s like going back in time fifty years.
Except that back then the principal would have sided with the father and expelled the little creep.
” The principal said he’s upset at the number of people who have sided with the father. “
beat hell out of the principal too then
No doubt. The story talks about the kid being “beaten” in front of the school. If all dad got was a misdemeanor simple assault charge, he held back a lot better than I would.
No doubt, the principal is a jackass!
They’ve got to charge him. Otherwise, the father’s vigilanteism becomes understandable and justifiable.
In fact, one might say that it’s understandable anyway since it’s quite likely there’d be no charges against the boy if the father had not beaten him up and forced the hand of the authorities.
> Except that back then the principal would have sided with the father and expelled the little creep.
...except nowadays it is just as likely that Daddy’s little skank was the instigator, and the schoolboy the innocent victim.
Thank Britney et al for that!
I can understand the dad’s reaction, but why is the boy being charged with sexual assault?
>The principal said he’s upset at the number of people who have sided with the father.
You would be next, were you in my school district, you little creep.
I made the same mistake. I thought, "Damn, he really must have beaten that kid".:)
This father is a barbarian. He beat the boy...what was to be his daughter’s punishment? So they are going to charge the boy?
I wonder how many of the other 17 year old boys in that school need also to be charged. Do they really expect ‘restraint’ in a liberal society in which sex figures in every TV, film, commercial and a public system that feels it must instruct first graders about sexual preferences?
The situation is nuts.
Dad: “Don’t worry, Mr. Principal, I was just giving the boy a little thump-therapy.”
Man, that’d be a HARSH punishment! ;o)
GO DAD!! :)
No, he is a father. - you are the nethandral
What other 17 year olds do is not pertinent to this. We are talking about him and this case right now.
The father’s actions are entirely appropriate, and I would not convict him were I to sit on that jury.
Far to the contrary, I applaud him.
But he isn’t over 18.
What a big tough man you are! You can beat up a kid! Man, you are sooooo scary!
What a bunch of disgusting, violent hypocrites. What’s the matter, mad cause you didn’t get firsts?
Wow. Seniors sexing up sophomores. How rare and newsworthy.
If someone was beaten every time that happened, a lot senior boys would be missing most of their teeth.
