DENVER, CO, United States (UPI) -- A Colorado Springs, Colo., school tried to silence the parents of a disabled girl who was sexually assaulted by a teenager, the Rocky Mountain News reports.
The victim, now 20, has an IQ of 50, and was assaulted in September 2004 at Rampart High School by the 15-year-old boy assigned to be her peer trainer, said Jeff Weeks, an attorney for the girl and her parents.
The boy pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual contact with a helpless victim in 2005, and the family has since filed a federal suit against the school district.
They also spoke with local media about the case, which didn`t sit well with the school district, which sent a letter to Weeks, the News said.
