She Was Expelled for Being a Victim 🤬
A woman recounts how she and her friend were sexually assaulted by an adult man named Len after he provided them alcohol, but were expelled from school under zero tolerance policies when their initial false statement about being forced to drink was revealed, despite forensic evidence supporting their assault.
Summary
The speaker shares a traumatic experience from her time at Newport Harbor High School where she and her friend Stacy decided to skip school and encountered a man named Len who bought them beer. After consuming only three beers, she became unusually intoxicated and remembers Len showing her a knife before blacking out. She regained consciousness in a park with her pants around her ankles and found her friend unconscious in Len's lap. When a police officer arrived, instead of pursuing the 33-year-old man who fled the scene, he focused on why the girls weren't in school. Fearing consequences for drinking, the girls initially lied and claimed Len forced them to drink at knifepoint. The incident escalated to FBI involvement, with statements taken and forensic evidence collected from their clothing. However, when Stacy later revealed the truth about their initial lie regarding being forced to drink, the FBI's belief in their assault claims was undermined. Despite the existence of forensic evidence supporting their assault, both girls were expelled from school under California's zero tolerance policy, with the speaker noting that victim-blaming attitudes of the time suggested it was the girls' fault, partly due to her clothing choices.

[0:00] I was at Newport Harbor High School. I had a really good friend and we decided to skip out on the rest of the day at school. We had this guy that was sitting outside of a 7-Eleven buy us some beer in exchange for bagels. His name was Len and [music] I say that because I'm calling him out.
