...in the girl's bathroom. Also, someone was kind enough to videotape the act and post it to Snapchat and Twitter - because there is nothing wrong with dozens of guys posting video of them fucking a vulnerable, already deeply scarred and traumatized 15-year old girl, right?
The girl confirmed she had sex with a number of "willing males" in the South Fort Myers High School bathroom on May 17, police said. A school-based sheriff's detective watched a security video and saw 25 teen boys walk into the restroom.
The girl and her parents were unwilling to press charges, and cops initially declined to pursue the case. However, when the video surfaced and was sent to news outlets and posted online, detectives and the Florida Department of Children and Families decided to investigate further.

"She was not equipped to make a stable, rational decision in that situation," said Estrem.
Her mother said the girl went to the boys bathroom to talk to a boy she had a crush on. She said the boy wanted sex, and her daughter complied then word got out.
"She did not sleep with 25 boys in the bathroom. There was only a handful that she did sleep with. In this case, it was more of a spectator sport," said Estrem.
It lasted an hour and ended because the students involved had somewhere else to be.
"She has been in an environment where she has been told to behave a certain way, and there were severe consequences if she didn't," said Estrem.

But remember folks, the real menace of girls' bathroom is transgender people.

(16,191 posts)It clearly wasn't her choice. A newly rescued human trafficking victim in her mental state was clearly unable to provide informed consent. She needs help, and the boys need to be prosecuted.
This was one of those situations that there was bound to be more come out about.
Very sad all the way around.

(10,989 posts)The girl was placed into multiple treatment programs, the most recent was eight months long.
But because shes a runaway, only a handful of programs would accept her. None of them addressed the devastating ramifications of sexual abuse.
She did get some help, but it wasnt specific for what she needed, said Estrem.
She was a student at South Fort Myers High only two weeks when the incident happened.
She was not equipped to make a stable, rational decision in that situation, said Estrem.
