Washington: A
mentally-challenged 15-year-old girl in New York was brutally
gang-raped by two boys in her classroom with her teacher standing
only a few feet away, a media report said Sunday.
The special needs student was allegedly sexually assaulted for 10
minutes as another student "hit her on the head whenever she tried
to escape" during a science class at a school in Elmont, the Daily
Mail reported citing the New York Post.
The girl's mother filed a lawsuit, alleging that the teacher
ignored the assault even as one student danced on the desk while
another attempted to sodomize the girl.
Though the girl told a school social worker the next day, school
officials failed to report the crime.
She was the only girl in her class of 13 boys.
The daily said the alleged attackers were residents of a home for
juvenile delinquents.
The girl's mother said her daughter was bullied for months.
The school's executive director said an internal investigation was
conducted as soon as they heard of the abuse and fired the
teacher.
