This needs some exposure: Family Driven from Home After Daughter's Rape by Student Athlete

Family Driven from Maryville, Missouri Home After Daughter's Rape by Student Athlete

A pair of sexual assaults that occurred one day last year in Maryville, Missouri, weren't much different from ones that happen every day: there were teenagers, there was alcohol, and there were rapes that the perpetrators claimed were consensual.

As reported by the Star, on Saturday, January 8, 2012, Maryville High School freshman cheerleader Daisy (whose identity has been made public by her mother) had been having a sleepover with her 13-year-old friend. The girls were drinking liquor hidden in her bedroom and texting Matthew Barnett, 17, a football player and acquaintance of her older brother. Daisy had a crush on the older boy, who had been at the Coleman home just days earlier watching TV. That night around 1a.m., the two girls snuck out of the house to meet up with Barnett and a group of his friends, sneaking through a basement window at Barnett's house.

There, Daisy was handed two glasses of booze, one after the other. She doesn't remember being raped by Barnett, while one of his friends, a 15-year-old boy, raped her 13-year-old friend as she said "no" multiple times. One boy who was there that night, Jordan Zech, 17, a football player and wrestler, captured Daisy's assault on on iPhone video.

Daisy was so drunk she had to be carried out of the Barnett home; multiple kids confirmed that as she was being taken back to her house, she was crying. Daisy's 13-year-old friend found her way back into the Coleman house, but Daisy was left in a tee shirt and sweatpants on the front lawn overnight. When her mother, Melinda Coleman, found her the next morning after she heard noises from outside, Daisy's hair was frozen.

Barnett is the grandson of a republican state represntative Rex Barnett, no wonder the charges were dropped.

My youngest daughter lives in Maryville, she called me all freaked out about this. And I started to look into it. I didn't have time to search DU as I am traveling and limited time to DU.

And she is worked up about it. Would not surprise me if she doesn't get involved. She did call me a second time last night 1:45 AM worried about someone knocking on her door. But it was probably a drunk walking back to campus. Her house is on the main street from downtown to campus.
