美国爱德华州的小镇的高中上发生了耸人听闻的种族歧视，强暴时间。 一名高中黑人橄榄球队员准备和队友拥抱的时候，他的一名队友把他打倒，另一个队友然后用衣架猛戳他的下体，第三名队友则猛踢插入的衣架。这起骇人听闻的时间发生在2015年10月，经过说月的调查，州总检察长对3名施暴者提起诉讼，其中两名被作为成人起诉。这三名队友都是白人。 本月早些，该案件更多细节被披露，原告要求DIETRICH 高中赔偿1千万美元，并且追加了11名被告，包括教练，学校工作人员。根据披露，原告其实已经收到了数月的种族侮辱，被骂道KOOL AID, 吃鸡的，黑鬼，西瓜， 还被一个学生要求唱 臭名招猪的3K党。 而教练则袖手旁观，并鼓动其他学生的这种行为。 When a teammate held out his arms after football practice in their high school locker-room, the teen thought he was about to get a hug. Instead, he got viciously raped, authorities say. As the teammate restrained the teen, another football player allegedly thrust a coat hanger into the teen’s rectum. Then a third teammate kicked the coat hanger several times, according to a criminal complaint. The Oct. 23, 2015, incident has rocked the tiny town of Dietrich. This spring, after several months of investigation, the state Attorney General’s office filed sexual assault charges against all three alleged attackers. Two of the teenagers are being charged as adults and could face life in prison, under Idaho law. Earlier this month, the case took an even darker turn when the teen’s family filed a $10 million lawsuit against Dietrich High School. According to the lawsuit, the alleged rape wasn’t a one-time-thing but rather the culmination of months of racist abuse by white students against the alleged victim, who is black. He “was taunted and called racist names by other members of the team which names included ‘Kool-Aid’ ‘chicken eater’ ‘watermelon’ and [the N-word],” the suit alleges. The civil complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Idaho also claims that one of the students charged with sexual assault displayed a Confederate flag and demanded the teen recite a racist song titled “Notorious KKK.” All three of the teen’s attackers were white, the suit says. The suit, which names the 18-year-old, was provided to The Washington Post by his attorney. However, The Post generally does not name victims of sexual assault. In addition to Dietrich High School, the lawsuit also names 11 employees as defendants. It claims school administrators and coaches did nothing to stop the racial and physical abuse towards the teen, who was especially vulnerable due to “mental disorders including learning disabilities.” ‘Catcalls, taunts and racial epithets’ The suit even claims that Dietrich football coaches encouraged other players to fight the teen, allowing a much larger student to knock him unconscious as other students shouted “catcalls, taunts and racial epithets.” Dietrich High School did not respond to a request for comment. Against the alleged backdrop of widespread racial abuse at Dietrich, one individual stands out: John R.K. Howard. Howard, 18, is one of the three students accused of sexually assaulting the teen with the coat hanger. He is charged as an adult with one count of forcible penetration by use of force or a foreign object, according to the criminal complaint. The lawsuit paints Howard as the ringleader of the racist abuse against the teen, who was adopted at age four by white parents living in the predominantly white town of 334 people. http://www.kansas.com/news/natio ... rticle79786327.html |
