Mother of Boy Sues School District Over Parking-Lot Encounter Suspension

The mother of a boy who engaged in a sexual encounter in the parking lot of a public high school is suing the school district for suspending her son.

The girl involved told school officials she was sexually assaulted after telling the boy to stop. The boy said the encounter was consensual. The district attorney's office declined to prosecute, saying it would be difficult to get a conviction in the case given the evidence, according to the Bangor Daily News.
