NORTH ANDOVER – Valley Patriot sources at Lawrence District Court and in law enforcement tell The Valley Patriot that North Andover volleyball player Erin Cox was in court last month with a signed confession, admitting she was in possession of alcohol and consuming alcohol at an underage drinking party.
Cox claimed initially that she was only at the drinking party to give a drunk friend a ride home when police arrived. Her attorney at the time, Wendy Murphy, went on a nationwide media blitz promoting the false narrative that Cox was the victim of a school system out of control and that North Andover’s “zero tolerance policy” resulted in her suspension from the volleyball team and the loss of her position as captain.
Attorney Murphy and Cox’s Mom Eleanor Cox told the media that Erin was being punished for “doing the right thing”. That narrative was repeated without question by television, newspapers and radio stations across the globe prompting people to donate money to an Erin Cox scholarship fund from as far away as Australia.
Cox, who is 17 years old, now admits to being at the underage drinking party on September 28, 2013. Cox says in her confession that she was there approximately an hour before Boxford police broke it up, a direct contradiction to her earlier claims.
“My name is Erin Cox,” her hand written letter to the court states.
“I am 17 years old. On September 28, 2013. I was at the party in Boxford, MA. I was there for about an hour before police arrived. While I was there I was in possession of alcohol and consumed alcohol, even though I was underage. There were numerous underage people there as well. I am admitting to this offense and wish to enter into a diversion program.”

This is also a monthly publication apparently, and I couldn’t quite figure out when this story was published.
Is Erin Cox someone we should be familiar with?
Only if you’re into miniscule facts around HS volleyball players, I guess.
She kinda ugly.
Her story got national coverage in the fall. I remember the Today Show crew expressing their disapproval of what they considered a simply stupid decision by the school.
I also couldn’t post the whole headline. Part of mentioned that it was a national story. And the story explains how the media ran with it and then dropped it quietly when the actual facts came out.
So did my niece, and nobody’s ever heard of her either.
I’m sure plenty of people heard of Erin Cox, with the coverage this story got. It can be seen on Google. I believe at least one story was posted here.
The women in the Northeast are, for the most part, very plain and not attractive. I came from the midwest and I keep hoping my sons will find someone not from this area - or we move (which I really want to do).
A bit manish...
Apparently she holds the distinction of being the very first teenager to get caught drinking booze.
If you google it, the story got national attention.
The more important point though is that the media just ran with her version and quietly dropped the whole thing when her story turned out to be false.
Her confession was a false story?
>>>She kinda ugly.<<<
Not nice. She is a 17 YEAR OLD GIRL. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Do her looks have anything to do with the article?
I’m sure her Parents think she and the rest of their Children are beautiful, just as I’m sure you think the same of your own Children.
So far my experience has been that their hearts are too. Plain is one thing. Plain and ice cold evil is quite another. The latter has been my experience with my yankee counterparts.
Yeah that is mean. She is an athlete and very pretty. Leave her alone. No make up and ready for a game. Photo shop hounds just dont like real women. Plus so what? I dont get those comments. A freah faced young women in good health. People are mean.
