Michigan teen hangs self after harassment at school
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HURON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Samantha Kelly endured merciless taunting from classmates after they learned that the high school freshman had accused a senior of rape.
With their key witness dead, prosecutors on Wednesday dropped criminal charges against the older student, saying they had no case without the accuser's testimony.
Samantha's mother screamed at 18-year-old Joseph Tarnopolski after his brief court appearance and had to be restrained by a relative. She told reporters she was not consulted about the decision to dismiss the third-degree criminal sexual conduct charge.
The weeks of harassment eventually became too much. Samantha went home from school Monday and hanged herself in this community southwest of Detroit.
Samantha's accusations became known to many of her neighbors and classmates after she and her mother spoke to a local television station about the matter. Samantha's face was blocked out,
"My daughter did not get any justice," June Rule said.
but word of her allegations quickly spread.
Principal Donovan Rowe said school officials investigated the alleged bullying and found nothing overt. Rowe said on occasion he walked behind Samantha as she went from class to class and witnessed no harassment.
"People wanted to beat her up — people who were friends of loe," said Aylia Raines, who also attended Huron High School. "Not to her face. She heard from other people that they wanted to beat her up."
Another student, Calie Bouchard, said 14-year-old Samantha was confronted once in the lunch room by a group of girls who insisted she was lying.
Huron Township police said Justice brought her daughter to the station on Sept. 27, a day after the encounter with Tarnopolski, to file a sexual assault report. At the time it was considered a statutory rape case, meaning the pair had consensual sex but that she was under the age of consent.
"She started breaking down in tears." Calle said.
"Her mom had mentioned some harassment," Rowe said. "I asked her specifically if it was happening here. She said no. It was happening in the trailer park."
School officials said they were blindsided by the Oct. 18 television report in which justice criticized administrators for not taking action to protect her daughter.
age of consent. Justice also met with school officials and asked to keep the matter confidential, the principal said.
Samantha had not been at school for about two weeks before returning Monday morning with her mother.
On Wednesday, Wayne County prosecutor's spokeswoman Maria Miller said the case against Tarnopolski could not proceed "because the sole evidence ... was the complainant."
After school Tuesday, Devyn Waldecker learned from Samantha's mother that her good friend was dead.
Attorney Joseph Kosmala, a Detroit-area defense lawyer who was not involved in the case, said the prosecutor seemed to have no other choice.
Police notified school officials Monday night about the suicide. Students were told the next day that a schoolmate had died and that counselors were available.
