Sinful II.

Boys will be boys,
and girls will be ...

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Florida sheriff's detectives are investigating a cellphone video purportedly showing a 15-year-old girl having sex with as many as two dozen boys in a public high school bathroom after school.

A school security camera captured 25 boys entering the restroom on May 17, news media outlets reported.

Lee County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tony Schall said Tuesday that authorities originally decided not to pursue any criminal charges from the incident.

But Schall said when a cellphone video surfaced and was sent to news outlets and posted online, detectives and the Florida Department of Children and Families decided to investigate further.
Good that the Sheriff's Office was goaded into "investigating further"...
That ain't normal, folks!  24 in one blow?  Get her some help already.

I guess it turns out the schools can't raise kids as good as healthy families, afterall? Shame on those officers who first decided to look the other way...  I wonder if any of them were in on it.

Here's the dirty details, for all to see...
FORT MYERS, Fla.- The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said Monday it will join the Department of Children and Families in investigating a local sex scandal that is receiving national attention.
On Friday, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said it would not investigate the incident involving a female student having sex with as many as 25 boys in a South Fort Myers High School bathroom.

The sheriff’s office now says it is looking into alleged video and images of the incident being posted to social media.

Questions about the scandal do not end with agencies’ investigations. The unnamed Lee County students have sparked conversations across the country, online and even overseas.

Now that LCSO is involved again, Defense Attorney Lance Dunford warns that criminal charges could be pending.

So far, no students have been charged in connection with the scandal. However, Dunford said teens who distributed the videos or have images from the incident on their phones could face child pornography charges and jail time. It’s a felony, Dunford said.

“It certainly is. You have someone depicted in the video or pictures that is not over the age of 18 she is a minor,” he said. “Parents, talk to your teenagers about these things. This is a big deal.”
It's the cops' initial non-response, not the boys' bad behavior, that should be most concerning... They are supposed to be grown men, authority figures, not enablers.

Sheriffs and Police Captains,
talk to your deputies and officers about ways to distinguish between consenting adult women performing sex acts in private places, and minors in public buildings being used and abused. This is a big deal and I suspect it happens more than we want to let on.* Call it a hunch...

* The "looking the other way" by the cops; not the boys pulling a train in the public high school bathroom...
