Hawthorne Academy High School Principal Diann Weston and assistant principal Nina Adams have been suspended with pay in the wake of an ongoing WBTV investigation into the handling of reported sexual assaults at the school. Students and parents were notified of the move in a message from district administrators late Tuesday afternoon. WBTV first reported last week about a sophomore student who reported being sexually assaulted by a classmate in August and was suspended late last month because, administrators said, she filed a false report.
