The complaint charges a male student with two felonies: One count of rape and a second count of kidnapping.
When FOX4 went to the school on Wednesday, students and parents were upset that the district nor the school ever notified anyone about the alleged incident.

District leaders told FOX4 that because of the nature of the situation they chose not to notify families because they believed it was an isolated incident.
The school community is still rocked by what allegedly happened in a place where they expect students to be safe.
“It’s very disturbing. It’s saddening that – that would even happen, it’s terrible,” a parent said.
Because the suspect is charged in juvenile court, FOX4 won’t identify him unless he’s certified to stand trial as an adult.
