SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — A school superintendent said Wednesday that officials could not expel three teenage boys charged with sexually battering a classmate at a party last fall, even after she hanged herself and her family complained that a humiliating photo of the assault was being circulated.
Saratoga schools Superintendent Bob Mistele said the party where the incident involving 15-year-old Audrie Pott occurred was not on campus or related to school.
He also said two of the boys were on the football team and barred from participating.
