HS MEAN GIRLS Admit Making False Sex Assault Accusations Against a Male Student Because They ‘Just Don’t Like Him’
Seneca Valley School District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is facing a lawsuit from a former male student who was forced out of school—and investigated for sexual assault—due to a series of false accusations made by female students. The girls—dubbed “mean girls” in the lawsuit, admitted on tape that they made up the assault story. One said, “I just don’t like him” and “[I] would do anything to get him expelled.” Months later, T.F. was again falsely accused. Another girl said that T.F. had broken into her home and sexually assaulted her. The lawsuit claims she was coached by T.F.’s first accuser. As a result of this accusation, T.F. was charged with assault and criminal trespassing. He was removed from school in leg and wrist shackles and spent 9 days in juvenile detention. By the end of the summer, the conspiracy against T.F. was unmasked: other students came forward with Snapchat messages that contradicted the claims of the “mean girls,” who eventually admitted to lying. All charges against T.F. were dropped. But T.F.’s family is understandably distraught that the girls have suffered no consequences: neither the police nor the school district have taken any action against them, according to the lawsuit. And so the family is pursuing legal action against the girls’ parents, the school district, and the district attorney.
