2012 rape and distribution of child pornography case
The school drew international attention after two members of the football team were accused and later convicted of digitally raping, and distributing child pornography of a 16-year-old girl in 2012. The students were seen "joking" about raping a "dead girl" on a 12 minute video.[4][5] The convicted teens were also charged with the rape of a 14-year-old girl, which occurred only 4 months prior.[6] Four adults were indicted in the cover-up of sexual assault cases involving the school's high school athletes, one being the school coach.
