Kids made t-shirts supporting his attackers, his locker was regularly vandalized, his Facebook page bore ugly insults, and he was constantly asked, 'What's been stuck up your butt today?' He was not only raped by the three high schoolers, but he was victimized again every single day by the taunts of his peers and the indifference of the school officials.įinally, the boy's father reported the rape to the police. Meanwhile, the boy himself was going through hell. In fact, the wrestling coach (who is also the father of two of the attackers and president of the school board) dismissed the event, stating, 'This happens 1,000 times a day around the U.S.' For a month, they knew and did absolutely nothing. Immediately afterwards, the school board and district superintendent were informed about the rape by the boy's father, who is the principal of the K-12 school that all of the involved parties attended. It's a disgusting, horrific act, but the town's response was equally horrible. Outside a high-school wrestling match in a tiny Colorado town, three upperclassmen high school wrestlers cornered a 13-year-old boy on an empty school bus, bound him with duct tape, and sodomized him with a pencil. It's a story we've heard countless times before, but with a twist: This time, the victim of sexual assault was a young boy.
