I'm certain a teacher is covering up a sexual assualt case

Hey guys, sorry for not being on here in a while. The support I got from my previous topic was really nice, thanks to everyone who gave advice. It turns out that I've been trying to log onto the American Reachout website for the last couple days -.-.

But things have been happening at school that have really horrified me honestly. I never thought it would actually happen but I REALLY believe a teacher at my school is trying to cover up a sexual assualt case.

I know it sounds outlandish, but the circumstances all point towards a cover-up and it's really freaking me out. I swear that I'm wholey telling the truth and am not fabricating or exagerating anything, I'm just telling you guys what happened. This is a long but really horrible post.

I'll explain. Last monday two girls One and Two (to protect their identities) came to class late and upset. They sat down next to me and told me that Guy had sexually assualted One in the previous lunch. They said it had been happening for six months and that they had even avoided school to stay away from him. He had been assaulting One by grabbing her breats roughly even when One and Two told him not to. They had never told anyone else before because they were embarrassed and scarred to. Plus, they both come from really dysfunctional families and didn't want to get in trouble. It must have been pretty bad this time because they went and told the welfare teachers Mr Black and Mrs White (again, not real names). They teachers said they would deal with it and sent the girls to class.

The next day I arrived early in the morning and saw that Guy was still hanging around where One and Two sat with their friends. One was away from him but upset because he had approached her that morning. At recess i went to Mrs. Grey, a proactive and tough teacher. I explained it all to her and she said she would follow it up. SHe went and talked to Guy, but neither One or Two. I waited until Thursday to see her again. That afternoon I went and looked for the deputy principle as Guy was still hanging around us. I couldn't find him but found Mr Math who told me to write up a statement on it all.

On Wednesday I gave it to Mr Maths and he said he would give it to the deputy.

On Thursday, things got really messed up. Towards the end of the day I went to see Mrs Grey and asked her what had happened. First, she confirmed she didn't talk to the victim and then claimed that he confessed to doing it. BUT THEN INSISTED HE HAD NO IDEA IT WAS WRONG. Let this be clear, Guy is roughly 15-16 years old!!!! For six months and with the girls constantly telling him not to, he apparently had no goddamn idea it was wrong. Did I mention that he only ever did it when the girls were alone and away from others? AS BLOODY IF. I told her that he was mearly saying that to get away with it, but then she said that it was Ones fault for "hanging around him". She said that it was up to One and Guy to talk it out and that One is "a grown girl" who can handle it all by herself. One is roughly 15-16, both are students and it always happened ON SCHOOL GROUNDS AND IN SCHOOL HOURS!!!!! She ended it by saying, very angrily, :" Dont worry about it." This sounds a whole more like "Dont talk about it".

Wouldn't the school have to act - of course they would have to get invovled. Surely thats part of the rules when this is reported right?! I have a friend with a mum whose a teacher and she said they should do something, so why aren't they. Mrs Grey made it clear that it was over with AND THE BOY HAS GOTTEN OFF SCOTT FREE! I know this because in our school you miss a lunch or recess if you get a detention, yet every lunch and recess hes been out in the playground. NOONE has talked to One about it and Mrs Grey's attitude utterly disgusts me! I suspect that he hasn't had a detention because you have to write down a reason for one and if they wrote "sexual assualt", then surely the school would have to act. My question is, who do I go to next? I was hoping for the deputy but Im straight up thinking of going to the police with this because it just sounds illegal. What do you guys think I should do, cause Im the only who knows about this I have to do something!

@bumblesheep This just keeps on getting more frustrating! I can't believe that your assistant principal reacted that way when you told him! It's completely unacceptable for him to try to downplay what's happened to these two girls.

 

If the school counsellor reacts similarly to the assistant principal, I think you should look into taking this outside of your school.
