In what can be termed as a shocking incident, a mentally-challenged 15-year-old girl in New York was gangraped brutally by two boys in her classroom with her teacher standing only a few feet away.

According to media report, the special needs student was allegedly sexually assaulted for 10 minutes as another student “hit her on the head whenever she tried to escape” at the time of a science class at a school in Elmont.

The girl’s mother filed a lawsuit, highlighting the fact that the teacher ignored the assault even as one student danced on the desk while another attempted to sodomize the girl.

Though the girl report this incident to a school social worker the next day, school officials failed to report the crime.

She was the only girl in her class of 13 boys.

According to the sources, the alleged attackers were residents of a home for juvenile delinquents.

The girl’s mother said her daughter was bullied for months.

The school’s executive director said in media that an internal probe was conducted as soon as they heard of the abuse.
