Teen Girl Raped On Field-Trip, Her School Did What?!

In November 2012, 15-year-old Garfield High student Emily Miller (pseudonym) was raped while on a field-trip for her Seattle school. The rape was so brutal, she was hospitalized. Her alleged rapist returned to school, she never did.
Emily was on a three-day school trip to a National Park when a little late night talking in bed with a boy took scary turn. She had sneaked out of her room to see him, only to end up raped.
Medical records reported mild vaginal trauma, semen streaked on her pubic hair and in her anus and a diagnosis of rape trauma syndrome. Emily vomited, possibly because of a nauseating megadose of prophylactic antibiotics. Her rape advocate at the hospital, who had 10 years of experience working with rape victims, said she “presented as one who had experienced a rape.”
The teen initially told authorities a stranger had climbed into her cabin, later confessing it was her classmate and ‘friend’ – explaining her lie, she admitted not wanting to see him go to jail.

She initially told investigators that a stranger came into her bunk in the middle of the night, because she "didn't want to get him, a friend, in trouble" (a claim that, of course, was used to discredit her later). The athlete's friend and bunkmate testified that he heard her moaning. "I was never moaning," she responded. "If I was, then it was in pain." When asked if he heard her say "No," her alleged assailant replied, "I did not pay attention to her that much."
"I did not pay attention to her that much." ....
