LINCOLN, Neb. -- Two Lincoln teenagers have been ticketed for having sex in a high school hallway during the lunch hour while at least a dozen students watched, according to Lincoln police.
School officials said the incident happened over the lunch hour Wednesday at Lincoln Southeast. A female 17-year-old and a male 19-year-old apparently snuck past a gate to get into a restricted hallway near the Prasch Activity Center. Lincoln police said at least a dozen students watched through the gate.
A school administrator found the couple and called a school resource officer.
"I don't want the message to families (to be that) this is happening indiscriminately all over the halls," said Becky Wild, with Lincoln Public Schools.
Wild said she remembers only one other incident like this in the last 10 years. She said LPS takes it very seriously, and administrators are asking themselves some tough questions.
"Are there some areas in our schools that are not as visible to the adults that supervise? We need to figure out how we cover those. Do we need to be talking with students about appropriate behavior?" Wild said.
Word of the incident doesn't sit well with some students.
"It's inappropriate," said one student. "It is. First of all, they don't need to be doing that in front of other people."
Students told KETV NewsWatch 7 that they believe sex in the hallways is rare, but sexual activity in schools happens more than adults think.
"If a kid thinks they can do that and it's going to make them popular, that's the level people go to nowadays," said student Danielle Thompson.
"I honestly think it could happen, and it probably does happen at their schools. People just don't know about it," said student Tomika Hopkins-Sanders.
LPS said students involved in sexual activity at school could face disciplinary action, counseling, suspension or even expulsion.
School officials will look at changes that can be made to prevent this kind of incident, but admitted that it's tough to keep an eye on every student at every moment of the day.
It doesn't state he is a srudent. Perhaps he snuck into school to meet his gf.
uh...yeah....student.
Ticketed?
"It's inappropriate," said one student "We should only have sex in the sex education class". "The next thing you know there will be cucumbers in the lunch room."
Get a load of this one!
Probably left-overs day in the cafeteria.
Gee...All I "learneded" was the three R's.
Though it happens at dances all the time.
VOUCHERS!
Like Zonker Harris said, "Sophomore year was the best five years of my life," but I think he was talking about college.
I know every older generation says this but what the hell is wrong with kids these days?
Maybe it was homecoming. (insert joke here).
I don't recall this kind of stuff when I was in school
Nope, me either. It was never a hallway, but the boiler room next to the gym was a popular spot, as was the supply closet in the Art Room.
Plus, the Town Woods was in back of the school
Wonder if they stopped by the school nurse's office to get a free condom before their romp in the hallway?
And I remember a Meatloaf song in which a boy tries to cajole a girl into having sex. She gets him to pledge undying love to her until the end of time. She's a hard sell, but eventually he gives in and she gives in. And afterward ... he stays with her, even though he doesn't want to. But a promise is a promise.
We have fallen far indeed.
"Seven years of college down the drain! Might as well join the F@#%*@g Peace Corps!"
Well what got the other kids attention? Was she a moaner or a screamer?
Both might have something to do with the collapse of civilization.
