COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A 16-year-old disabled girl was punched and forced to engage in videotaped sexual acts with several boys in a high school auditorium as dozens of students watched, according to witnesses.
Authorities are investigating and no charges have been filed in the alleged attack last month at Mifflin High School. Four boys suspected of involvement were sent home and have not returned to class.
Also, the principal, Regina Crenshaw, was suspended and will be fired for not calling police, school officials said. And three assistant principals were suspended and will be reassigned to other schools.
Crenshaw had no comment Tuesday.
The girl was forced to perform oral sex on at least two boys, according to statements from school officials, obtained by The Columbus Dispatch.
Part of the alleged assault was videotaped by a student who had a camera for a school project.
School officials found the girl bleeding from the mouth. An assistant principal cautioned the girl's father against calling 911 to avoid media attention, the statements said. The girl's father called police.
Her father said the girl is developmentally disabled. A special education teacher said the teen has a severe speech impediment.

Whats "Profiency"
Is that a new $500 sneaker?
Inner City school....geesh, I'm surprised the handicapped child had a father.
ol' hoghead
Dealt with enough rape victims, battered women and molested children to last ten lifetimes.
Shootin's too good for the likes a them that would do somethin' like this...
One picture is worth a thousand words!
Nor do I.
Sexual predators should be terminated with 'extreme prejudice'.

What I have to say about this behavior isn't so much directed at the young people as it is at the parents and other adults supposed to be giving direction to these young people.
It looks like the parents were to intent on their own pleasures and interests to make sure that their children grew up with good moral values and an attitude of compassion.
This makes me gag!
Those are the good kids with good parents, I bet.
Many years ago, when I was in school, some a$$ took one of our cheerleaders up to the mountains after a game, He got toasted and told her to put out or walk. She walked, when he got back to town and started bragging about it, we (as in some of the guys and girls in our in our school) WENT LOOKING FOR HER. We got her back home and then some of us guys caught up with him. He was layed up for along long time. We thought of it as just due. He did not learn and is spending the rest of his life in the oregon state prision.
The kid is flashing a gang sign.
Gang signs, are not supposed to be regular hand signs that are routine, they're supposed to be overt acts that can be obvious.
I'm surprised no one noticed it. It is pretty blatant.
This should be shocking and revolting and disturbing to everyone, including the dweeb who didn't want to call 911 and create attention to the situation. Expel those 'boys', fire the principal, and the justice-obstructing excuse of an assistant principal, and the other so-called assistant principals. Sending the 3 other asst. principals off to other schools? Super, way to slap them on the wrist (ok, a wee bit more sarcasm). Now, off I go to barf...
The boys parents will sue the school for permitting this crime.
Of course if they found out she had a picture in her purse of a GI with a rifle, then she'd be expelled. Zero tolerance applies there, but doesn't apply to this criminals.
Oh, and a decade ago or so, and for years afterward, these students would have been children inadvertently (I hope) exposed to stories of Slick Willy's oval office extracurricular activities. Little wonder, then, that oral sex is such a casual activity for some of today's teens...
