COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A 16-year-old disabled girl was punched and forced to engage in videotaped sexual acts with several boys in a high school auditorium as dozens of students watched, according to witnesses.
Authorities are investigating and no charges have been filed in the alleged attack last month at Mifflin High School. Four boys suspected of involvement were sent home and have not returned to class.
Also, the principal, Regina Crenshaw, was suspended and will be fired for not calling police, school officials said. And three assistant principals were suspended and will be reassigned to other schools.
Crenshaw had no comment Tuesday.
The girl was forced to perform oral sex on at least two boys, according to statements from school officials, obtained by The Columbus Dispatch.
Part of the alleged assault was videotaped by a student who had a camera for a school project.
School officials found the girl bleeding from the mouth. An assistant principal cautioned the girl's father against calling 911 to avoid media attention, the statements said. The girl's father called police.
The moron assistant principal is named Richard Watson...he told the father that he didn't call the police because it would "become a media circus". He didn't even bother calling the girl's father...a special education teacher did it on her own.
Her father said the girl is developmentally disabled. A special education teacher said the teen has a severe speech impediment.
It took a week for this story to get media attention...only after a couple of nationally syndicated radio talk show hosts found out did AP touch this story
