Two Rockville High students arrested for allegedly raping classmate at school

A 14-year-old girl was pushed into a boys bathroom at Rockville High School on Thursday morning and raped by two other students during school hours, according to Montgomery County District Court records filed Friday.

Police arrested two ninth-graders, Henry E. Sanchez, 18, and Jose O. Montano, 17, who appeared in court Friday and were ordered held without bond.

“I believe that you are a danger,” District Judge Eugene Wolfe told Sanchez.

On Thursday morning, Montano forced the girl, who told police she knew him as a friend, into a bathroom after asking her to have sex with him, which she refused, according to court documents.

are immigrants to the U.S. which might explain why they are several grades behind where they normally would be. The article provides further information on the attackers. This is a situation that will be exploited by Trump supporters in the immigration debate.

(about the immigration thing)

However, I would think that the 18year old would have been diverted to adult education... especially since he would be 20 or 21 by the time he was a senior.

One of the big reasons for segregating students by age into elementary, middle, and high schools is to keep different age groups (and development levels) away from each other.

At least that is what I came up with noticing grade and age also.
