This isn’t Bullying. Bullying is kid stuff. This is intimidation od a Statutory Rape victim to shut her up. A very Adult crime.

Prince’s harassment was common knowledge to most students, faculty, staff and administrators, Scheibel said. The district attorney’s investigation determined, however, that the school officials’ actions, or lack of action, did not rise to the level of criminal conduct, she said during a press conference at her offices.

Of course, if she had belonged to a protected demographic, then there would be a civil rights case since the school officials permitted the harassment to go on.

What a beautiful 15-yr old young lady! And to have her life snuff out by bullies. And two of three guys charged are charged with raping her. What a terrible life she had to live after that. Is there any justice in this world that can serve these bullies well?

1. It is statutory rape, hence consensual.

The boys may be over 18 now....

IMO, a glory seeking DA wanting some easy hits to boost her career.

The giveaway - in a building filled with guidance counselors, administrators up the wazoo, deputy and assistant and vice deputy principals, none of the adults in charge are cited for any incompetence or negligence?

The kids may have engaged in nasty behavior, but at a school where were the adults supposedly watching over all this.

It will probably seem cold, but I still have to ask where her parent was in all of this? And yes, statutory rape usually involves consensual activity where the “minor” is not legally able to give consent, age is different from state to state. The reports have been that she dated upperclassmen, depending on the state they have different laws regarding how far apart in age constitutes statutory rape.
Having raised two teenagers, I’ve made it my business to know all of their business. There is still a double standard, girls who sleep around, are called sluts by other girls. It can get quite ugly, but someone who is acting out sexually and then kills themselves is probably having some emotional difficulties beyond the norm. If this poor child had not taken her own life, I doubt this would be a story.
