Hillsborough County prosecutors allege the four boys raped the 13-year-old victim multiple times over two months. . .The prosecutor said the victim's screams could be heard outside the
boys' locker room at Walker Middle School, in southern Tampa, where the
alleged assaults took place.
Multiple people witnessed the attacks, but no one reported the incidents, including the victim. . .
This is our society.

Silence is the Enemy founder Sheril Kirschenbaum eloquently reminds us that the problem of silence about sexual violence knows no boundaries, not geographic, not political, not age, not sex.
Let me be clear: The initiative that began Monday to end the
silence is not focused on one gender or limited to a single specific
region. The purpose is to draw more attention to the crisis globally
and encourage everyone to talk about it and act.
