Girl Kills Self After Being Bullied Over Rape Allegations

A 14-year-old girl who was taunted by classmates after she accused an older student of rape has committed suicide, Detroit media reported.

Samantha Kelly, a freshman at Huron High School, hanged herself Monday in her family’s mobile home in Huron Township, Mich., according to reports in the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press.

Other students had harassed her and called her a liar after they learned that she was the accuser in the case against Joseph Tarnopolski, 18, a senior at the school.

Oh goodness, what is it with rape and high school bullying hitting the news today? Hasn’t America learned it’s lesson yet? Unfortunately, this story has a tragic ending. I hope her classmates feel guilty and realize the terrible consequences of their actions. And I hope her alleged sexual assailant’s post-release Big Mac gave him the shits.
