Teens charged in sexual assault of special-needs student

Internal school district emails show reaction of community, administration’s decisions

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

F

ive former Juanita High School (JHS) football players have been charged with second degree attempted rape for allegedly trying to sodomize a specialneeds student on Oct. 22 in the school locker room.

The five players, all freshman C-Team players on the JHS football team at the time

of the incident, are accused by the King County Prosecutor’s Office of having planned to sodomize the student as part of a hazing ritual known as “jubie,” according to court documents.

“Although the incident does not appear to have been sexually motivated, the charges reflect that the attack involved an attempted or threatened penetration

with a broom handle while one student was restrained by several others,” wrote Dan Donohoe, spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office.

Of the five boys charged, four are currently 15-yearsold and one is 14. Arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 20 in King County Juvenile Court.

The suspects allegedly lured the special-needs stu-

dent, an 18-year-old senior, into the shower area of the locker room by telling the victim that they had a picture of his girlfriend and teased him about it, the documents continue.

According to the police report, witnesses said the incident appeared to be retaliation for some horseplay earlier that afternoon involving several players,

including the victim, who were throwing ice and water at each other.

When the victim entered the shower area, witnesses told police the suspects grabbed him and held him down. As he struggled, the suspects pulled down his pants and underwear and restrained him while one of the suspects attempted to sodomize him with a broom handle, the documents continue.

One witness told police

“there was no doubt” about what the suspect intended to do with the broom and “there was no way that this was an accident and no way this wasn’t planned.”

Several witnesses also told investigators that one of the suspects was filming the incident on his cell phone.

After repeated attempts to sodomize the victim, the five suspects fled the locker room. According to the victim, the suspects let go [ more CHARGED page 8 ]

The legal battle between the city of Kirkland and Potala Village over the number of units allowed on the property has finally come to an end.

The State Supreme Court denied a request on Feb. 4

by Potala Village that the court review the Aug. 25, 2014, ruling by the Washington Court of Appeals, Division I. The Court of Appeals had rejected Potala Village’s argument that the filing of a complete application for a shoreline substantial development permit for a portion of the Potala Village project on Feb. 23, 2011 established vested rights to the February 2011 zoning or other land use control ordinances for the

entire project. Potala Village then filed a petition for discretionary review with the Washington Supreme Court.

Attorneys for Potala Village, LLC owner Lobsang Dargey filed a petition to the Supreme Court in response to the ruling by the Court of Appeals, which sided with the city over whether or not the developer had vested rights to the entire property on Lake Washington Boulevard prior to zoning code changes that would limit the number of units allowed.

The controversy over the Potala Village project started in 2011, when Dargey originally planned to have 143 units. After protests by residents over concerns

Lake Washington Boulevard will close for at least a month this summer north of Northup Way for a project aimed at reducing flood risks and improving fish habitat.

The city of Kirkland will be replacing a pair of 24-inch culverts at Cochran Springs with a box culvert that is 15-feet-wide and seven feet deep. The city will also be removing an estimated 24 tons of sediment that has accumulated downstream of the existing culverts. That sediment causes water in the stream to back-up and, on occasion, overflow the roadway. The sediment deposits also smother fish-rearing habitat.

SIXTH STREET

Progress on the Sixth Street water main continues south toward Kirkland Way. Kirkland’s contractor expects to complete the installation by the middle of March. KarVel Construction has so far installed the new 12-inch water main from Central Way to the north side of Kirkland Way. Kar-Vel president Mike Waldner said he expects crews to reach Kirkland Avenue by the middle of February, at which point they’ll focus on testing the water line for leaks and sanitation and then connecting it to the lateral service lines.

Kar-Vel will begin later in March replacing the six-inch concrete sewer pipe near Fifth Place South with 200 feet of an eight-inch PVC sewer pipe.

To achieve this, Kar-Vel will close the pedestrian path that connects Fifth Place South to Eighth Street South.

PARK LANE

Kirkland residents continue to visit, shop and dine on Park Lane while Kirkland’s contractor is making progress on the Park Lane makeover. Marshbank Construction has built smooth pedestrian walkways along both sides of the street and enveloped the construction site in fencing. Crews are currently excavating the street for the water main they are installing. Marshbank expects to finish installing the water main on the west block—between Lake Street and Third Street—this week.

Marshbank’s current schedule projects Park Lane to be open to the public by the end of April.

STREET PRESERVATION

Eight of Kirkland’s arterials will receive new surfaces this year. Kirkland will repave Lake Washington Boulevard this spring, from Lakeview Drive to 10th Street. Later in the summer, the city will repave Seventh Avenue South, portions of Northeast 60th, 141st and 144th streets, as well as 116th, 124th and 132nd avenues northeast.

To prepare these arterials for overlay, Kirkland will also be upgrading the curb ramps of the sidewalks along them.

In addition, the city will be extending by eight years the lives of nearly 30 lane miles of neighborhood roads in North Rose Hill, Kingsgate and North Juanita neighborhoods. To achieve this, Kirkland will be using slurry seal, a street preservation tool, which the city has used for a decade.

NORTHEAST 80TH STREET

Northeast 80th Street will receive a new water and sewer main later this year. The city will replace the sewer main from 124th Avenue Northeast to 128th Avenue Northeast. It will replace the water main from 124th Avenue Northeast to Northeast 80th Street’s intersection with 132nd Avenue Northeast. Project staff are coordinating the exact timing of this project with the on going Northeast 85th Street project.

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Construction will begin in early spring on the Intelligent Transportation Systems project aimed at reducing traffic congestion through intersection technology along Kirkland’s most-traveled corridors. The project’s first phase will connect the city of Kirkland’s Transportation Management Center to traffic signals along the Central Way to Northeast 85th Street corridor, as well as the Lake Washington Boulevard, Market Street and 100th Avenue Northeast corridors. Its second phase will do the same along Northeast 132nd Street, 120th and 124th Avenues Northeast in Totem Lake and along 100th Avenue Northeast and JuanitaWoodinville Way. Project engineers expect to finish construction on the first phase by fall. They expect to finish construction on the second phase in early 2016.

When complete, the new Intelligent Transportation Systems technology will provide real-time traffic information to Kirkland’s transportation engineers, who can use that information to remotely adjust the synchronization of traffic signals.

www.kirklandreporter.com [ College from page 1] sity), Maeve “Savin’ Maevin” O’Conner (Chapman University) and Taylor Sekyra (University of Washington). Hart was named 2A/3A KingCo coach of the year.

As part of the girls soccer team, they finished the 2014 season with a 10-2 record, losing to Bellevue twice. During the state tournament, their quest for the championship ended in a heart-breaking loss to Mt. Spokane, 1-0, at Spokane Falls Community College, a game the girls described as the coldest they have ever played.

Bunnella was a fouryear varsity player and team captain for two years.

“She has an innate ability as a soccer player,” Hart said. “She is able to see the play happening before it actually does…”

Brixley, another fouryear varsity player and team captain, “can play any position and will always leave everything on the field,” while Ferrera “had one of the best seasons I’ve seen from a player,” according to Hart.

“She was absolutely unreal and unstoppable.”

O’Conner, a third fouryear varsity player and goalkeeper, earned the nickname “Savin’ Maevin.”

Hart said she was “key to our successes over these last four years.”

Hart also expressed her excitement for Sekyra’s signing on with the UW, where the coach also played soccer under Sekyra’s father, Chuck Sekyra, who was the head coach at the time.

The girls credited the upperclassmen with helping them mature when

they were freshmen, describing the team as “very tight knit.” Although the team is losing many players to graduation, they say they have confidence in the underclassmen to continue the team’s success.

Also at the signing were Tor Jensen, who has signed on to play baseball at Hawaii Pacific University, Carly Rataushk, who will play basketball at Seattle Pacific University, and Sydney Shepard, who signed on to play basketball at the University of San Diego.

The Kangs baseball team also made it to the state tournament, where they promptly defeated the first two teams including a 10-1 victory against Tumwater. They lost the final game against Ellensburg for the state title, 2-1.

Jensen, a center fielder,

was selected for the 2014 Perfect Game Northwest Showcase Top Prospect Team, as well as the Baseball Northwest Prospect Tournament in 2012, 2013 and 2014, according to berecruited.com.

Perfect Game is the largest amateur baseball scouting service in the world.

Kangs Baseball Coach Derek Bingham described Jensen as a “driven, hardworking student athlete who has earned his opportunity with his efforts both on and off the field.”

Shepard was the first LWH girls basketball player to receive a full-ride scholarship in almost 15 years. Rataushk was recently selected as player of the game for her Jan. 28 performance against Bellevue High, where she racked up 13 rebounds.

about traffic problems on Lake Washington Boulevard, the City Council placed a six-month emergency moratorium on all building permits in the business neighborhood zones in November 2011.

Before the November 2011 moratorium, however, Potala Village had submitted a completed shoreline substantial development permit, which the city approved in January 2013, but did not file for a building permit application.

The council eventually passed new zoning regulations, placing a maximum limit on the number of units per acre allowed in business neighborhood zoning, which reduced the number of units Potola Village could build down to 60.

Dargey then took the city to King County Superior Court in order to build according to the original zoning code.

His attorney argued that a completed shoreline substantial development permit was sufficient to have vested rights to the entire property and thus could operate under the zoning codes in place at the time the application was filed.

The superior court sided with Potala Village, ruling they had vested rights to the entire property before the city imposed its moratorium. In the Court of Appeals, however, the judge ruled in favor of the city, concluding the building permit was necessary to have vested rights over the property and that Potala Village failed to cite any law preventing them from filing a building permit application before the moratorium.

In their petition to the Supreme Court, Potala Village attorneys claimed they did not file for a building permit application because the city informed them that they would not have accepted it until after changes were made.

Additionally, when they attempted to submit one during the morato-

rium, the petition further claimed, it was rejected by the city.

The petition also argued that a shoreline permit was all that was necessary to have vested rights, because it is “the most environmentally protective regulation and takes into account all applicable zoning and land use regulations.”

Dargey’s attorney argued that the city only changed its mind about the site’s vested rights when public opposition to the project grew over traffic concerns, as the mixed-use building is located off of a onelane road in both directions. The petition cites a Washington State Supreme Court ruling, City of Bellevue v. West Main Assoc., in which the court found that the city’s discretion to change zoning regulations based upon the developer’s proposals violated the property owner’s right to due process.

The petition also claimed the Court of Appeals ruling contradicted at least 60 years of common law doctrine protecting vested rights to property and in doing so made the vested rights doctrine “only available on a statutory basis.”

Kirkland’s City Attorney Robin Jenkinson said that common law doctrine has been replaced by provisions passed by the state legislature. She cited Abbey Road Group v. City of Bonney Lake decision, in which the Supreme Court held that the developer failed to vest its rights to develop a 575-unit condominium complex in the city by filing a site plan review application without also filing a complete building permit application. The developer had planned to build 24 buildings but before they submitted a site development permit application the city passed an ordinance rezoning the property to a new category that prohibited them from building the proposed condominium, according to a description provided

by Eisenhower Carlson PLLC.

EDITORIAL

Community would have benefited from the release of more documents in assault case

T

he alleged sexual assault that occurred at Juanita High School (JHS) in October has rocked the Kirkland community. Prosecutors have charged five teens with attempting to sodomize a special-needs student. Ultimately, the justice system will determine the facts. Most people can’t imagine what would drive teen boys to commit the alleged acts. Many people have expressed a feeling of shame for just being associated with the Juanita High School community during the past five months, even going so far as expressing how the incident makes them feel unsafe sending their children to public schools in the area.

From the information we have, the school district and the police acted swiftly and correctly.

However, the story has hurt the community’s reputation. The Daily Mail in the UK, the New York Daily News and many other media sources outside of the Puget Sound area have reported on the incident. Some of them have even cast a stereotype about JHS. The Kirkland Reporter has tried to paint a broader picture of the incident and the reaction of the community.

All of the media sources outside of Kirkland wrote their stories from press releases or the recently released charging papers. As a journalist, obtaining that was about as easy as opening up your email and reading. But for us, this story was too important to stop at a press release.

The incident has not been easy to cover for the Reporter’s editorial staff of two. The subject matter is not easy to write about. Our interest in this story, like all crime stories, is to present clear relevant information to the community. Those facts, we hope, will help you and your family make decisions in the future to keep you safe. We received many phone calls and emails from anonymous sources with good information, allowing us to ask the right questions and put together six stories.

We were also hearing inaccurate information in the community. The rumors in a case like this can be unfairly damaging to the reputations of those involved. They can also be dangerous for witnesses and the victim. Most of the stories written this week were from the charging papers. We attempted to go further and give context where it is needed.

The Reporter’s story went further. A head coach who, despite district policy, risked his job to call the victim to check on his well-being. The inadequate policies for supervising after-school activities, which need to be changed. And the visceral reaction of parents and students to one of the worst cases of bullying in the district’s history.

We have used every resource at our disposal to obtain the facts in this case short of taking the issue to a judge. We ultimately decided not to go down that road as it would have taken so much time it may have ultimately been irrelevant. The Kirkland Reporter submitted nearly 20 records requests with the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), the city of Kirkland and King County Prosecutor’s Office. For perspective, we submit two or three for

the average investigative piece. Most of the requests were denied, including requests for investigation documents from the school district and the city.

LWSD officials told us they were unable to release any information because of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The city of Kirkland also denied our request and our appeal, despite the fact it could have redacted the suspects’ names or any part of the reports, releasing some information that could have cleared up many damaging and potentially dangerous rumors circulating in the community.

As journalists we have to respect the idea of innocent until proven guilty. When we received the charging documents from the prosecutor’s office, the names of the suspects were not redacted.

Nothing was redacted. We still chose not to print the suspects’ names. It is journalism ethics, not the law, that governs our actions. However, obtaining information on this case should not have taken this long. It is one thing to protect those accused of a crime but the community, and its concerns, also deserve consideration.

The efforts being put forth by the city of Kirkland and our firefighters to provide excellent service to the Kirkland communities are vital and worthwhile. However, when I drive through the heart of the Kingsgate area and see the only fire station with a for sale sign out front, I feel that something has run amuck.

There is a lot of discussion related to closing existing fire stations and building new ones. I like the phrase I recently heard which states that the fire station won’t come to rescue you, but the firefighters will. In other words, siting fire stations is like buying a home. It’s all about location, location, location.

I know that distance from the station is one consideration as is the frequency of existing calls. I would challenge both sides of this discussion to also consider population density and the fact that more people will live longer in the future thereby increasing those call rates in denser areas.

Specifically, the center of the Kingsgate area is surrounded by commercial districts, multifamily housing, schools, a library and dense residential areas that continue to develop. In the heart of it all there stands the only fire station in the community with a for sale sign out front? I would challenge this debate to relook at the existing stations as they were already strategically placed for access to arterials, population centers and el-

der care facilities. Then seriously ask whether we should be taking away service from these areas.

If funding is being developed, I am more likely to support the enhancement of existing sites, added training, community services and response units rather than a new building minutes further from my community.

Thanks for your consideration.

Ron Forster, Kirkland

Science contradicts letter writers message on bag ban I read with great interest the recent letter to the editor of the Reporter, “The Science and Comedy of Kirkland’s Proposed Bag Ban.” The writer attempts to discredit environmentalists in order to persuade the City Council to take no regulatory action. Wishing away the impact of reusable bags is not scientific, he says.

It’s true the plastic bag staff report credits Vimeo as the source of its graphical representation of the Pacific Garbage Patch. But to attempt to characterize the efforts of the authors of the staff report in their consideration of the significance of Pacific Garbage Patch as superficial, implying unscientific, constitutes an effort to mislead the public. The National Geographic Society is just one (reputable) source of the information the Staff considered. It is acknowledged that the exact nature of the patch is unde-

termined and likely undeterminable. Abuse on account of that circumstance is inevitable. Thus, Angelicque E White of Oregon State University can’t be faulted for being frustrated with those who picture islands of trash twice the size of Texas. But Professor White does not dismiss the problem, the amount of plastic out there isn’t trivial, she says, as reported in Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN), Sept. 15, 2014. The environmental activists may exaggerate what is known of the patch, while not especially helpful, it’s no damage to Science and noting it is not a good argument to take no action.

Taking actions damaging to Science is not even on the agenda of the Kirkland City Council or that of the authors of the staff report anyway. Their goal is to protect and enhance our natural environment for current residents and future generations. A practical consideration is disruption of Kirkland’s recycling systems by plastic bags. For that reason alone, the potential to eliminate plastic bags must be taken seriously.

That is, so long as no new problems eventuate.

Accordingly, it is useful, on the part of the author of “The Science and comedy…” to encourage your readers to consider the ramifications of alternatives to plastic bags. However, misleadingly, he only considers paper and cotton bags.

The same C&EN item sited above, also considers reusable nonwoven polypropylene and reusable polyethylene with 40 percent recycled content. [ more LETTERS page 9 ] The analysis of

Former Seahawk, Kirkland resident charged with 17 counts of theft

Goodwill announces move to take over old Albertsons location in Juanita Goodwill has announced that it will be opening a new 28,000 square foot retail store at the old Albertsons location in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland.

According to the Goodwill press release, the store is the 25th in the central and north Puget Sound region and will open May 21 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. After the doors open, there will be giveaway items for first 200 customers.

The merchandise assortment will appeal to both the budget and fashion conscious, with men’s and women’s apparel, women’s accessories, and home and office décor items, the release states. The store will employ approximately 75 individuals.

The new location will begin accepting donations from the community on Feb. 20 and will continue to accept donations once the store opens.

Customers who make purchases at Goodwill stores are supporting Goodwill’s free job training and education programs that help better the lives of people in the community, the release states.

As part of the city’s plan

Triplett said Goodwill’s announcement won’t impact their plans, as they can still purchase a section of the parking lot. He also said if they purchased the lot in front of the Rite Aid the store would not be required to move. The other proposed site, Triplett said, is the nearby church at 10007 Northeast 132nd Street.

She later learned that the insurance premiums had not been paid and owed $50,000 in medical bills.

As a result, she is considering filing for bankruptcy. When interviewed by investigators, the 28-yearold described Adams as “intimidating,” becoming “tearful” when told she might have to see Adams if called to testify.

Other alleged victims include a woman who worked as an exercise in-

structor at Lincoln Plaza.

In November 2013, she attempted to cash a paycheck but was unable to do so due to insufficient funds in the payroll bank account, which resulted in the bank issuing fees to the alleged victim. She previously had agreed to work at a women’s health fair. Her manager told her in a text message she would be paid $30 an hour. After the fair was over, however, Adams allegedly told her she would only be paid $10 per hour.

Another alleged victim who worked as

an exercise instructor at Lincoln Plaza for a month attempted to collect her paycheck but was allegedly given excuses. She finally submitted a wage complaint in December 2013.

The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years and/or a $200,000 fine.

Adams and Sargent are set to be arraigned on Feb. 18.

Adams was a defensive tackle for the Seahawks from 1994-99, eventually signing on to play for the Baltimore Ravens.

Their actions, the affidavit continues, “caused employees, through no fault of their own, to have countless insufficient fund checks that they were unable to cash which resulted in employees losing their housing, being unable to pay household bills, being unable to buy Christmas gifts and accruing thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills for themselves and their families.”

In addition to the 17 counts of theft - five in the first degree, three in the second degree and nine in the third degree Adams has been charged with four counts of tax fraud for not paying about $450,000 in retail and sales taxes for two athletic clubs he ran, Lincoln Plaza Athletic Club in Tacoma and West Seattle Athletic Club in Seattle.

Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical roundup of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.

in a local detention facility and other court ordered probationary obligations.

The school district released a statement in response to the charges, saying they are “committed to the safety and security of every student.”

“Existing district policies require that students are supervised at all times while at school,” the statement reads.

“We have reviewed our procedures to ensure that locker rooms remain locked if no adult is present to supervise.

Signs have been posted informing students they are not to be in the locker room without adult supervision.

The school security officer is also checking locker rooms frequently. Districtwide, the coach training program is being revised to ensure that locker room supervision expectations are very clear. “ Emails obtained by the Reporter through a public information request reveal more about the incident

1231796

wedding passport

and the immediate fallout between parents, students and the administration.

Following the incident, the victim’s family filed a temporary sexual assault protection order against one of the suspects, which was later approved, reissued and extended. The protection order prohibits the respondent from coming within 500 feet of the victim’s house or school.

The school district’s statement also said the five suspects no longer attend JHS. The Reporter has confirmed that at least one of the suspects is currently attending a different high school in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD).

Emails from parents state that the victim later went on to send out messages on Twitter about getting revenge.

The tweets concerned the parents in wake of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting, which took place just two days after the incident at Juanita High School.

The emails also reveal that Juanita High School varsity coaches were in a portable reviewing game film with varsity players on Oct. 22 at the time of the assault in the locker room.

Tarantola was driving home when he received a call from assistant varsity coach Lele Te’o about the alleged assault involving four C-Team players earlier that afternoon, according to a statement he made to Principal Gary Moed via email. At this point, he wrote, he alerted C-Team OF

R

coach Chris Nelson about the incident and immediately decided that any of the players involved would not be allowed to play in the game that night.

Many of the complaints surrounding the incident stem from the fact that the students were in the locker room unsupervised, something which Tarantola said they try to avoid but is difficult due to the number of sports teams who use the facility simultaneously.

“Our coaches do our best to clear the locker rooms at the beginning and end of each practice,” he wrote to Moed. “There are times when students are arriving late or leaving early and are let into the locker room to change into their football gear. Outside of that we make sure that we are the last ones out and first one into locker room.

The locker room is used by a number of different sports and groups throughout the year as well.”

Tarantola added that “We have found that we need to find a better way to make sure that all doors are locked at all times and that no students are left unattended in locker rooms.”

He also wrote to one individual that it is not realistic to expect coaches to supervise what goes on in the locker room at all times because they lack the resources.

“Too many people access it,” he wrote. “...it is the impossible task that every coach and PE teacher is at fault for over the course of a year.”

Tarantola also defended

of him when other football players who walked in told the suspects “this isn’t funny.”

The Kirkland Police Department (KPD) was later contacted by the aunt of the victim, who had been informed of the incident by JHS Athletic Director Steve Juzeler. JHS head football coach Shaun Tarantola also called the victim’s home that night to apologize for the incident, according to a statement by the victim.

During the follow-up investigation, police discovered one of the suspects sent out a text to the other four prior to the attempted rape saying they were “gonna jubie” the victim. Shortly before the attempted rape another suspect said “Alright, it’s time” before heading to the shower area, according to witnesses.

Four of the students were questioned at the school by officers, and while several of

the suspects initially denied involvement, one confessed to trying to sodomize the victim with the broom handle, the documents continue.

All four were arrested and then released to their parents.

The fifth suspect did not show up for school the day after the incident and was later brought to the KPD by his father.

The KPD investigation concluded that “it is clear (victim’s name withheld) was lured into the shower area of the Juanita boy’s locker room to be assaulted. Further it is clear that the suspect’s intentions were to perform a hazing ritual act known to football players as ‘jubie.’”

Donohoe added that in addition to expulsion and other consequences imposed by the school district, the individuals involved face possible sanctions ranging from a commitment to the Department of Juvenile Rehabilitation to a sentence

www.kirklandreporter.com the actions he took after learning of the incident.

“I did everything right on the money from the time I found out to all the phone calls I made last night to the right people, to how I handled myself and the situation today,” he wrote on Oct. 23.

Both Tarantola and Te’o were placed on leave in early November while a district investigation into the incident took place. They were later reinstated in December.

Tarantola is a health and physical education teacher at the high school, while Te’o is the athletic director at Kamiakin Middle School and works security for the school.

The emails also reveal the ambiguity and confusion over what happened as a result of district’s inability to communicate with the public due to federal laws, which specifically had a detrimental effect on the football team after Lele Te’o was put on paid leave. In an email to Moed, Tarantola expressed his frustration with not being allowed to explain to the players why Te’o was gone when they asked about where he was and that this was having a detrimental effect on their morale.

“They are texting Lele and he is not responding which is adding to their concerns,” Tarantola wrote to Moed in a Nov. 5 email. “I think the players have no idea… and they are truly concerned for his safety.”

Prior to Moed’s statement to high school parents about the sexual assault that same week, he received a number of emails from parents and alumni expressing outrage at the suspects’ behavior, criticism of the school’s perceived handling of the incident, as well as moral support for the coaches and school staff. One person emailed Moed the day after the incident inquiring about what had happened, saying “this is hitting us hard in the Juanita neighborhood.

Lots of rumors with all the kids talking. We need something from you. Arrest, sexual abuse, nudity, planned attack - that’s what came home from school today. It’s extremely upsetting.”

One parent, with a daughter attending JHS, wrote “We really know very little and most has been what we’ve picked up from our kids.

What we did hear though, was very difficult to listen to… Kids are supposed to feel safe at school. Something has gone terribly wrong.”

She added, “We know that you have a lot to deal with right now, but we want you to know that we support your efforts at ensuring Juanita [ more EMAILS page 9 ]

High School is a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for students.”

Other emails blamed the football team’s culture and arrogance for the attack.

After Moed released a statement to parents, one of them stated in an Oct. 25 email that the general wording of the letter unwittingly downplayed the severity of what had happened.

“To me there is a huge difference between ‘assault,’ which could fall under all kinds of actions, kids getting in fights, etc.,” he wrote. “But to come home and have my sons tell me a much more grave story involving multiple young males video taping the sexual assault of a mentally challenged student is very disturbing… How much more important is it that we parents have the facts straight. This incident certainly is upsetting, but it was very upsetting to me to think I was informed about a school yard fight and to find my sons talking about something far more violent and grievous. I think the school should lay out the problem so we parents know what happened and can be mentally prepared ahead of time to talk to our kids.”

The lack of communication between school officials and the student body was also criticized by a current

JHS student, who said the silence surrounding the assault makes her ashamed to be a Rebel.

“These crimes were committed against a fellow student, and the fact that the student body is not being talked to about this is ridiculous,” she wrote.

“Being silent about this is giving these criminals less of a chance to be known for what they did. The fact that this happened to an innocent student and the school is remaining silent deeply upsets me.”

LWSD officials, however, have stated that they are not able to discuss most of the details about the investigation or any information about the students involved due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law regarding student privacy, which prohibits them from releasing information about students.

Stopping at a stop sign is not optional When did stopping at stop signs become optional? I have watched a disturbing trend over the past several years where drivers feel a left turn against a red light, or a failure to stop (or, in many instances, even slow down) when making a “right-turn on red” is perfectly acceptable - if they don’t get caught.

February 13, 2015 [9] law has now begun to occur frequently at intersections with stop signs clearly posted. Unfortunately, police enforcement seems to be the only deterrent. Since there aren’t enough police officers to patrol every intersection, the ultimate deterrent becomes the resulting collision-causing unnecessary injury and damage to innocent parties.

Councilman Toby Nixon hits the nail on the head with his comment “…it seems like the issue to me

is not so much the design of the roadway, as it is the drivers who just choose to exceed the speed limit.”

Until, and unless, motorists drive responsibly, observe the “rulesof-the-road” and show a little common courtesy to their fellow motorists, this unfortunate trend will continue and our roadways will become less safe.
