In June 2020, a number of posts surfaced on social media alleging
current and former Arcadia High School students and faculty of sexual
harassment and assault. This is an unofficial mirror of anonymous sexual
assault allegations tweeted by @ahs_safespace, @ahspredators, and
@predatorsahs. They are copied here in the hopes of bringing greater
accessibility and awareness to the allegations.

Back in 2013-2014 I was friends with Freddy Mancilla. He always had a
bad reputation but he was nice to me and I didn’t really think twice
about it. I was a freshmen and was very innocent, mind you. One day we
went to the Arcadia public library just to hang out and we walked to the
children section which is in the back. He sat down and was hinting at
him wanting me to do something sexual to him. He asked me to sit on his
lap and to go close to him. He'd pull my hand to his pants but I'd pull
away because It made me uncomfortable and I didn’t want that at all. I
was sitting in the chair next to him and he had dropped something and
asked me to pick it up. As I was going to grab it (thinking nothing of
it)
hadn't noticed but he had his penis out and shoved my mouth onto him. He
continued to force me to give him head in this public area when I never
gave consent to doing so. When he finally let me up I felt numb like I
couldn’t feel any emotion or anything at all. He told me “I'm sure
you'll be better next time”...
Hi. I'd like to remain anonymous but I'd like to validate the story on
your page about Nick Napier. I was present at that sleepover. We slept
in the living room away from the bedrooms. i remember being furious
because he woke up in the middle of the night to “use the restroom” and
then committed that disgusting act. My mother was the person that threw
him out of the room in the middle of the night, and informed me that she
caught him in the bedroom. There was also another incident where I was
at a party Nick was at and a few of us stayed the night and he insisted
that he stay because he “wasn't safe to drive.” He used that night so he
could try to spy on the girls changing in the bedroom through a vent in
the bathroom next to the bedroom. One of the girls staying the night
caught him and told us what had happened in the following morning.
On December 5, 2015, Saturday night around 11pm in Portland, OR, some of
the cross country team went out for an event and we were going back to
the hotel to get some sleep for our run in the morning. I was sitting in
the back with my boyfriend at the time and he was sleeping against the
window of the vehicle we were in. I sat next to him and in between Tony
on the way back. I leaned on my boyfriend and wanted to sleep too. Not
even 5 minutes later, I feel someone touching my leg. I open my eyes,
and I know my boyfriend is sleeping. I look at who’s hand it is and it
turns out to be Tony’s hand. On my leg and reaching towards my vagina. I
tried pulling his hand away and I told him no. He resisted and grabbed
my hand away from his. He felt the pad I was wearing because I was on my
period but then moved up my shirt and towards my breasts. He started
groping me and I told him no. I tried grabbing his hand from under my
shirt but he didn’t stop. This continued for 15 minutes until we got to
the hotel- me telling him to stop and grabbing his hand. During the car
ride, he used my free hand that wasn’t pulling his off of my body and
shoved my hand down his pants so I could stroke his penis. When we got
to the hotel room, he stopped and got out like nothing happened. But I
felt violated and trapped. I didn’t tell anyone for weeks until I said
something at a laser tag event that same month. Fast forward to after
winter break, some of the upperclassmen and I are trying to figure out
what to do. It comes to the conclusion of reporting to the head coach
who ultimately said report it to Dean Kearney. This happened in February
2016 when I reported it. I filled out an incident report and retold my
story to the dean. He asked me questions pertaining to what happened in
Oregon. One of them happened to be what I was wearing that night. He
told me the school was going to launch an investigation about this. I
left after I retold my story and went back to class. I know that he
asked a couple other students to come in to ask if they had knowledge
about it. Over the course of a couple months, all the way until May
2016, I was repeatedly called into the dean’s office. I even spoke to a
police officer who was less than helpful in March/April 2016. I was
asked many times about what happened to see if my version of the story
changed. I could tell that they were skeptical though, considering that
Tony gave them a different story. It wasn’t until the end of May that I
found out what happened: he got a talking to by his parents. I was upset
when I found out but deep down, I feel like I knew this would
happen.The cross country team’s response was... less than satisfactory. I
was really disappointed. The coaches want to shut down any talk of this
going around the team. A couple of my friends told me this personally. I
never received any sort of talk or counsel or anything from the head or
assistant coaches. In addition to Tony’s “punishment from the school”,
from what I heard he did not receive any other punishment. And that was
the worst thing to hear. No one helped me after that and later on I was
ostracized from the team as a liar (basically). No one thought that my
experience was worth believing. And he got away with what he did that
night.
The whole Arcadia baseball team (at least the years 2014-16 but most
likely longer) had a group message where they shared nudes that the guys
got from their girlfriends/girls they were talking to. And I know cuz
Nick Ibarra shared mine. Not just with the team but his group of friends
that weren’t on the team as well. I overheard them talking once and
they made it sound like they traded them around like baseball cards.
Even after we broke up i would hear from other people that random guys
had my pictures. Guys that weren’t on the team, which meant it spread
further than just athletics. These guys were also 2-3 years older than
my year. Nick also recorded me giving him head without me knowing and
sent it to his friends, I only found out because I looked up and he
couldn’t hide his phone fast enough. There’s so much more but those
aren’t my stories to tell. I hope girls can find the courage to call
these guys out, they need to KNOW that we know what they did was wrong.
With all the recent sexual assault allegations that have been coming
out, I feel that I should share my story as well. Although I graduated
from Arcadia High School back in 2017, I experienced the same rape
culture that is very much prevalent today.
ALEC CHOY sexually assaulted me for months when I was a junior at AHS.
At the time, we were both a part of the World Line for percussion. He
was a vereran on the team, I was a first-year. At the very start of the
season, he asked to meet me after practice (which ended at 9pm) by a
school building to “talk”. I asked if we could meet another time, but he
was persistent on meeting that night. When I arrived at the meetup
location, he forced himself on me and started kissing me. I immediately
pushed back and stated that I was dating someone and did not want
anything to do with this. He then grabbed my neck, pushed my head down,
and tried to force me to perform oral sex on him. I pushed back and ran
off, calling my then-boyfriend to pick me up. At the time, my boyfriend
told me to report it to authorities, or at least the percussion
instructors, but I was scared. Alec was a core member of the team, and
if I reported him I was worried it would jeopardize championships for
us. Looking back on this now, I should have just reported it the very
first time it happened.
Over the course of the next couple months, anytime we had practice, Alec
would wait until we were alone and then grope me and walk away as if
nothing happened. He would constantly send me very explicit images and
messages over Snapchat and ask for me to keep quiet. This constant
sexual harassment continued even on the day of championships while we
were in Dayton, Ohio. The percussion usually changes on charter buses
prior to performances. Since we were due to perform later in the night,
it was pitch black in the bus. While we were changing and getting ready
for our final performance, Alec came over to my seat and started groping
me while I was undressed. What was I supposed to do in that situation?
We were about to give our championship performance, the the performance
that we've been working towards for months. Surely, if I said something
it would have affected the team as a whole so I kept my mouth shut.
Throughout the course of this, I told a few close friends and team
members. Most supported me and sympathized, but none confronted him.
Another team member had even told me that they had a similar experience
with him. However, at the end of the day everyone continued to interact
with him just as they normally would. This had a greater impact on me
then the actual assault.
The continuum of rape culture is not exclusive to acts of sexual assault
and exclusive to acts of sexual assault and violence. It includes all
attitudes, beliefs, and actions that support it. I am disapponited to
see that the same issues that I experienced are still issues that
current AHS students have to deal with. I have been harboring these
thoughts for years now, and I would encourage other women who have had
similar experiences to speak up. Not to ruin the lives of the
perpetrators, but rather to shift away from a patriarchal view of
sexuality. A view that normalizes and reinforces sexual violence.
Lastly, a message to AHS from an alumna. Please be better. Growing up in
Arcadia, topics such as mental health and sexual violence have always
been considered taboo. I hope for the future of AHS to fully address the
extent of these issues, whether it's through education about sexual
assault and consent or fostering a safe environment for students to
openly discuss these issues and experiences.
I refuse to go into detail for I will re-live the trauma. ALEC CHOY.
2012-2016 AHS student. He stalked and harassed me for 2 years straight.
It started with unsolicited pictures of his penis, to sticking his hands
up my pants and penetrating; every time I would not only verbally
refuse, but I would try to shove him off. Regardless of my refusal, he
would aggressively yell and hold me down. He did this repeatedly to me
along with many other minors. If you were a victim and would like to
make this into a legal fight, DM AHS predators and we will be connected.
I refuse to let this happen to another woman or child.
I went to a after school program with Alec for about two/three years
while we were both in middle school, and during that time I thought we
were friends. I got picked up by the after school program in a small van
pretty much everyday, and Alec would get picked as well several days
during the week. Sometimes, the after school program would go to
elementary schools first before they would come to our school to pick us
up. When this would happen, majority of the seats would already be
taken up by the elementary school kids and I would be forced to squeeze
into the back seat with several other kids. When this happened, the
seats were so cramped in the back that I wouldn’t be able to sit
completely down, so I was kinda in a situation where my butt would be
tilted up halfway to make more room in the seat for other students to
sit, if that makes sense. Anyways Alec would sit next to me and poke my
butt in a joking way at first, but when we were put in a situation like
that over and over again, he would get more comfortable and begin
groping me or rubbing my thighs the entire ride to my school, and I
would tell him to stop but he would keep doing it. This happened several
times, and I didn’t want to bring it up the driver or the adult because
I was embarrassed and disgusted. This happened several times, and it
got to the point where I had enough and would start sitting on the floor
of the van, just so he would stop touching me. When I did this, he
would use his foot to rub on my butt instead. Mind you, I was in 7th
grade at the time and he was in 8th grade.
When he graduated and was a freshman at AHS, he for some reason visited
our middle school when it was after school. We ran into each other and
exchanged hellos. He then reached over to hug me, and it kinda caught me
by surprise, but I hugged him back (looking back, I don’t even know why
I accepted his hug in the first place) and immediently pushed him off
when he grabbed my ass with both of his hands and squeezed it. I then
walked avay and didn’t hear from him after that.
Fast forward to high school when I was a freshman or sophomore: Everyday
I would walk to the public library after practice to get picked up. I
would sit on the chairs in the small hallway that separated the adult
and kid sections of the library. One day I was sitting on the chairs, on
my phone, when someone comes to sit next to me and I looked up and saw
it was Alec. He tried to initiate convo, but I got up and left soon
after because my ride was here. The next time it happened, he again
tried to initiate convo but didn’t really go anywhere. He kept telling
me to go somewhere else to “talk” but I kept telling him no and that my
ride was here soon. This probably happened like three more times until
all of the sudden one day, he slides his hand down my shorts from the
back under my underwear and starts rubbing my ass. I froze in shock, and
felt completely defenseless. I felt saying stop, but it wasn't until I
told him that the security guard was looking at him (he wasn't, but he
would walk back and forth around the library) that he quickly pulled his
hand out. After, he would send me sexual messages, asking about my bra
size, “have you ever done this with a guy” type questions. He tried
pressuring me into sending him naked pictures. He also sent me
unsolicited dick pics.
I wanted to make clear that Alec didn’t always go to the library, I
probably only saw him a handful of times in total because I think he had
band practice or something idk. I remember the last time I saw him at
the library. I had a really bad day that day, and had been crying. ALec
sees and comes over to sit next to me, asking me what was wrong and
pretending to care, clearly seeing that I wasn't in a good place to
talk. He then kept insisting on going somewhere else more private to
“talk”, trying to take advantange of the fact that I was obviously in
distress. At that point I got up, walked out and waited in the rain for
my ride to come. I was absolutely disgusted by him. He would still
message me and I eventually blocked him. After that, I tried to avoid
him at all cost by only sitting in those individual desk cubicles.
I never told anyone about it, up until last year when I had a deep
conversation with my current boyfriend. I didn’t realize how traumatized
I still was until I found myself hysterically crying and felt like I
was unable to breathe as I was recalling everything. I felt powerless
again, and I still feel like ti was my fault and I could've done more. I
still don’t know why I just didn’t block him from the start. I had so
much self-hatred, insecurity, didn’t have many friends and did self-
harm that I am still trying to recover from now.
My experience was not like yours but I feel ilke I understand somewhat
of what you felt like. I was a year older than Alec and I knew him from
mutual friends. He would grab my ass in the hallway and I would of
course freak out and say not to do that. He would also send me solicit
photos and say weird things to me via Facebook and snapchat which made
me uncomfortable. I brushed it off at first to be nice and to not have
drama. When he grabbed my ass in the hallway one time, it made me really
upset. At the time, I was in a committed relationship and I was on good
terms with my boyfriend then. My boyfriend knew something was off with
me so I told him about it very casually. My boyfriend freakd out and
threatened to jump Alec and beat him up. Mind I wasnt a confrontational
person and again I didnt want drama so I stopped it from happening and
assured my boyfriend it wouldn’t happen again
Also I wanted to add when I told my friends about it.. they (who also
had boyfriends) told me he friended them on snapchat and facebook (they
accepted the friends request since they had mutuals). He sent dick pics
to them and when they confronted him, he said “it wasnt mine” or “sorry
friend took my phone.” They didnt even know him or ever meet him before
but when they saw each other at school he would wave hi and that's how
everything starts.. then he sends more pics and starts being more
aggressive to say “let's meet up” until they eventually block him. These
girls who never met him before too.
alec never did anything sexual toward me, physically or verball, but he had a way of publicly making me feel ugly.
as you know arcadia is usually known for “ABGs”. i don’t have that
image. Alec flirted a lot within drumline (as you know) and when we were
in an ensemble together, I walked into the percussion room and he and
his friend (another percussionist) was talking about how badly they
“wanted” one of the girls in our drumline. when alec saw me walk in, he
looks at his friend and goes “I’ll take ___ (the cute girls name) and
you'll take ___ (my name).” his friend gave a disgusted response and
they both laughed. in front of my face. i was right there. this was
minutes before class... i was scared of snapping because i didn’t wanna
throw off the team/rehearsal dynamic. i was scared. he and his friend
were strong players and I wasn't.
In middle school, Alec would force me and a friend to play a game he
called “are you nervous yet?”. He would begin the “game” by placing his
hands on our knees and then sliding them up our thighs. Even if we said
we were nervous (the only way to end the game) he would continue to
silde his hands up our legs and then proceeded to shame us for being
“pussies” and “tapping out early”.
I wanted to add that I saw what one of the victims had to say about
Alec, and about him playing this game called “are you nervous yet?”,
where he would put his hands on our knees and start moving his hands up
to our thighs. He would still play this “game” even though I would push
his hands off, and this happened in middle school as well when we were
on our way to our after school program. I wish I was a lot stronger when
I was younger but not only was I an extremely introverted and insecure
person growing up, but I was also scared he would say things about me to
other people that were untrue. I kept quiet because I'd say he was
fairly popular/ or well-known throughout his class.
And I hate that I still feel pity for him, but at that age, you should be able to know right from wrong.
so in hs we use to talk and all. this one time he asked me ft [FaceTime]
with him and i was like yeah sure. so we fted and he was already
shirtless IN THE BATHROOM. he said he was about to shower and he was
telling me to take my shirt off and show him my tits. I kept telling him
no and he fucking whipped his dick out and started jerking off. after
that i dipped and blocked him on every single social media.
When I was a sophomore at Arcadia High School I met Jesse Huang. I
didn’t know any of the rumors about him because I kept to myself.
Well... At the band orchestra color guard choir banquet we went for a
walk after dinner. He then proceeded to ask me to “give him head” “it
won’t take long”. He then pushed my head down to force me to suck his
dick. I kept pulling away so he said he had to complete a favor for me.
He pulled my tights down, ripping them in the process, and then
proceeded to try to finger me. I was a virgin. The whole time he was
stroking himself saying he was going to cum. I don’t know if he did or
not because at that point I went into shock. The next thing I remember I
was on my couch crying into my best friend’s lap. I’m so sorry to this
day for never reporting him since he seems to have continued this cycle.
Any time I have tried to speak out about this Ive been silenced by him.
I hope this helps at least one person.
I already saw someone tell their story about Jesse Huang, honestly I
wasn't even surprised. He would constantly harass me in little ways and
constantly ask me if I'd have sex with him or do sexual acts with him. I
never said yes to them, not even kissing. One night we were out with a
group and he pulled me aside because he said he had to tell me
something. At first I was hesitant but he was stern with his words and I
didn’t want to make a scene so I went. We were in a tiny hallway next
to a closed room. I asked what he wanted and he said he wanted to kiss
me. I said no. And he continued to be pushy with me until he finally
just shoved his entire body on me aganist the wall and forcefully kissed
me. I was in shock. I got myself to be alert and pushed him off, then
he grabbed me and tried to shove me into the room. I pulled away and he
continued to try and force me in. I was scared, my breath was shaking
and I knew I had to do everything in my power to not allow him to get me
in the room. I remember one final yank of my body and I walked away so
fast and had to go back out as if nothing happened. He later threatened
me because he didn’t want me to tell anyone what he did
When I went to Arcadia High School in 9th and 10th grade I was sexually
assaulted by two boys. When I was a freshman I used to hang out with my
link crew leader and her friends. I was pursued by one of her friends in
particular.
I was 14 and he was 18. He made out with me and tried to go further. His
name was Andrew Herrera. He was on the football team. I was
embarrassed. His wife (back then it was his girlfriend) showed up to my
first period class and told me off. No one stopped her not even my
teacher. A few kids started bullying me. For that and other reasons. In
my sophomore year I started to self harm. AHS found out I was doing this
and the ONLY thing they did when the nurse told them was basically
telling me to “knock it off” as my counselor said “you’re too pretty to
be doing that” So I was hospitalized and released after 4 days when my
mom found out. I was in the show choir Harmonix. The dean in charge of
504 meetings wouldn’t let me come back until I had a meeting with him.
The choir director by that time replaced me. Which is against ADA since I
had a mental health disability at the time. His name was Mr. England.
When I went to BOCC Banquet that year, I was sexually assaulted by Jesse
Huang. He forced me to preform oral sex on him and he fingered me
without consent He treated me like I was in the wrong any time I would
tell my story. He would come up with false apologies and would make
people think I’m crazy. By the end of my sophomore year I stayed home
more days then I went to school because of all this. Arcadia High School
never asked why. But they did have people calling saying I would have
to retake my classes so on and so forth. My mom saw the effect this
school had on my mental health so she pulled me out and moved us 50
miles away. My new school cared and is where I made the lasting
connections I have today.
Hello. I purposely didn’t come out with my story about Andrew Herera out
of respect for him and his wife and their soon to come child. However,
seeing how she is discrediting this other girls story, I'm ready to
share.
I met Andrew Hererra my first semester of highschool. Making me 14. He
was a junior. I didn’t super see a problem with this age difference, but
it was a huge push for me as far as sexual experiences go. We had math
class together. One of my first highschool friends was also in that
class. We soon became semi close to Andrew. We used to pass notes
between the 3 of us everyday. Through those notes he eventually started
flirting with me and asked me to hang out at lunch (after our 4th period
math class). We eventually had an arrangement where we would meet up
many days behind the south side bleachers and make-out for the entirety
of lunch. He very quickly got confident. He would unhook my bra and grab
my boobs. Students would be walking by. Keep in mind I've never even
made out with a guy before this. He often trying to move my hand onto
his dick many times but I told him i was uncomfortable. I was never very
strong about saying no to him touching me but knew I didn’t want to
touch him. He would also go in my pants. After a couple times he tried
to get me to give him a blow job and or have sex underneath the
bleachers. Not only had I never done anything like this but it was
hardly private. I said no and we cut ties. He eventually apologized
after I told him how much it hurt that he showed so much interest in me,
pushed me extremely far, and then dropped me like I meant nothing. He
tried to hook up a couple times after he graduated, but I never went
past responding to a couple texts from him and we haven't talked in
years. This story didn’t impact me as significantly as other's which is
why I didn’t originally share it, but it happened. And I believe the
other girl who came out as well. Stay strong and don’t let other's tell
you your story isn't true.
In 2013-2014 there was a senior on the football team. I think he was a
kicker idk. Anyways he turned 18 and pressured me and several other
14-15 year olds into making out with him and grabbing his dick. It was
literally traumatizing. I pushed him away and got away but, a close
friend of mine was forced to preform oral on him. I know of a minimum of
2 other girls who did it. His now wife ditched her first period to yell
at me for making out with him. She yelled at me until I started crying.
Even convinced me that I was the one who made moves on him so I
wouldn’t report him.
... forget MR. I who would talk about wanting to fuck female students or
talk about how hot female students were with male students. He had even
asked me if I spit or swallowed and if I wanted to give him a blow job.
He said this to me in front of another teacher who reported him. The
only thing they did was told him to retire early.
when i was 15 I started dating a senior named Anthony Harriman. He did
that APN Zombie thing. Well he asked me to prom and things were fine
until the day there was a pregnancy scare. He got very aggressive and
told me if I was pregnant I'd have to go through an abortion. Regardless
if I wanted to or not. I wound up not being pregnant and decided I
didn’t feel like I was ready to have sex after all and told him. He
would get pushy and would throw a fit or whine until I eventually gave
in. It escalated as one time he forced himself inside me without a
condom, I cried and asked him to stop because I was scared. He kept
going for a while after, put a condom on, and finished up. I was afraid

virgin. This was going on for a while. He would tell me I had no friends
so it was pointless to go to my new schools prom, that I wasn't enough
for him, I felt so isolated with him, I felt like no matter what I
couldn’t talk to anyone about it, and eventually he wound up slapping me
for saying something he didn’t like in front of his friend Nick, my
friend Jessica, and another guy on here Nicholas Napier. My friend was
too shocked to do anything but she came over to me after I ran off and
comforted me. We were arguing every single night on the phone. It only
got worse when he went on a trip with me and my family. He'd touch me
inappropriately in front of them. arone my hreasts trv to coerced into

front of them. grone my breasts try to finger me in the car, and be mad
later and demand to know why I was saying no. We broke up shortly after.
I told him he was abusive but he denied it and broke up with me over a
phone call.
Even though it's been a few years now, I still struggle with what
happened. I was 16, just starting to get into dating and relationships,
he was 19 and knew better. I have PTSD and most of my relationships
after him have been toxic. After telling my family and going to therapy
I've learned to deal. But I still have panic attacks if his name is
mentioned, or if I go down his old street when I'm in Arcadia.
Michael and I were really close friends for about 2 years. We became
friends my junior year when we had a class together, he was a senior. He
was always very flirty with me but I had never seen him that way in the
beginning, we were only friends. As time went on, he kept leading me
on, saying things like “we're gonna get married one day” and “I think
I'm in love with you”.. Weird shit that I just played off. Over time I
eventually developed feelings for him because he was manipulative and
ultimately made me fall for him. I was a virgin during this time, but he
would make comments that we should have sex or hookup.. The friendship
turned into a flirtation ship, we had made out once and that was it, he
tried other stuff but I didn’t let him. I had told him that I didn’t
want to have sex with him. When I was 17 he threw a party at his
grandparents, I got blackout drunk and can honestly say I don’t remember
much. I remember having sex with David Cordiero that night, that’s all.
The following morning I was still at that house, throwing up all
morning feeling like death. Michael took me home and called me later
that day, and makes a joke out of the fact that him and I had sex that
night and that I went to David right after... I had absolutely no memory
of having sex with Michael. He told me I went into his room and
initiated everything. Again, I have no memory. I was blackout drunk and
he took advantage of the situation. I started crying on the phone when
he told me, I told him he knew I didn’t want to do that. He blamed it on
me saying I wanted it and that he was drunk too. He let me go to
David's room afterwards and have sex with David as well, he claims he
didn’t know that's what I was doing. AJ Jimenez was also there, who I
apparently went into the hallway after and was making out with. Thank
god AJ didn’t have sex with me that night too but all 3 of those guys
passed me around that night like a rag doll and gave no fucks that I was
belligerent drunk and was unable to consent to ANYTHING in the state I
was in. They made jokes about it afterwards. Michael and David raped me.
AJ is just as bad because he was present and did nothing to stop it,
and also took advantage of me by just making out with him, if that’s
even all he did.. This is just what I was told. AHS baseball team is
trash and every single of of them were involved with taking advantage of
and degrading women.
Leo Zamora used to constantly slap my ass or grope my chest when we went
to Dana Middle school. While we were in hs, a couple friends came over
after a party we were having for one of my friend's as well as my own
18th birthday. (Our birthdays being a day apart) Leo was more of mutual
friend. I had known him since middle school but we were never
necessarily close. While in the living room, about 4 or 5 of us were
squeezed together on a couch with a blanket thrown over us. I could feel
him getting sorta close, but didn’t really acknowledge it. I was in
loose sleep shorts. He started his hand up my leg and fingered me while I
was in conversation with other people in the room. I was terrified. I
didn’t tell anyone, even my best friend or sister who were both there. I
froze. He tried getting me to go upstairs to a bedroom with him several
times. I would hide, make excuses, say I didn’t want to. He eventually
gave it up. He spent the night that night and I was awake the entire
time worried he was going to wake up and try something again. It took me
a year to tell my friends. I was so embarrassed and scared. Being that
we still have friends in common, I've seen him a couple times since, but
neither of us have ever said anything. I blamed myself for a year
before realizing that there's no way I could've consented to someone
fingering me in front of a group of my friends. I couldn’t fathom doing
that to someone. And I still think about it all the time. This was 2016.
This was after high school but here’s what happened. We've had mutual
friends for a while, and he asked to hang out. He mentioned that we
could get high and I thought that was all that was going to happen but
then he guided me to my room (keep in mind I was nervous and scared,
especially since I was under the influence and alone so I didn’t speak
up and complied at first). He then slowly started putting his hands down
my pants without my consent. Later he started touching other parts of
body. After telling him “no” and “stop,” multiple times, he proceeded to
pull me down and start kissing me saying “come on” and “lets just do
this.” This continued until I had the courage and strength to push him
off me. Even after being pushed off of me, he kept being persistent and
still wanted me to have sex with him. After repeatedly refusing and
telling him no, he finally left me alone. The entire time I was
uncomfortable and felt extremely unsafe and even after months of this
happening, I am still traumatized by this event.
deven was mentally abusive and manipulative. he would constantly ask for
nudes and made me feel bad when i wouldn’t send. he shared my nudes w
many of his friends and tried to deny it when i confronted him about it.
i know he also has done this exact same thing to other girls when they
sent their pictures to him. when we were talking he was controlling,
immature and toxic. when confronted he would play the victim and make me
feel bad for something he did.
deven would text me constantly and ask me very perverted questions about
my body. he would play mind games with me and constantly ask for nude
pictures. one night i gave in, after being constantly pressured. when i
would say no he would manipulate me into trying to send some night after
night. he would continue to ask me for more pictures even though i've
made it clear that i didn’t want to. he tried to make me think i could
trust him. i would see him around campus and act nice in fear that if i
made him mad he would send my nudes out. little did i know that he had
already leaked them. To make matters worse, he has done this to other
girls.
I was never super close to John, but we would see eachother around
school sometimes and we would see eachother at parties. We did kiss one
time at a party, but nothing more and I didn’t think much of it (I was
super naive at the time and was just looking go out). However, one time
at another party, I had just gotten there and John was already visibly
drunk (pretty rowdy, stumbling) we were outside and he hugged me to say
hi, but after that he didn’t let go of me and slid his hand down my
back, then slid his arm down even further and grabbed me aggressively
down there. He kept rubbing down there and was trying to finger me, but
other people were outside and eventually I got out of his grasp. I don’t
know where he went off to, but I left immediately and from then on, I
never went to parties or anything I knew he would be at. I know other
people have been through much worse situations, however I just wanted to
share my piece and get it off my chest
Recently it's been known that Arcadia is incapable of holding their
students accountable. I wanted to share my story regarding Kevin Chen of
CO 2018. I was in a class with him and sat behind him and I caught him
trying to take selfies with me in the background but luckily was able to
move away in time. There were also times where he would come up behind
me and rub my shoulders/arms. He would also turn around very frequently
to not look at me but at my feet. There were also multiple occasions
where he had been caught taking photos of girls' feet and I know that he
had been reported to administration by a teacher. He posted a photo of
his punishment, which was a Saturday school slip, on his snapchat story.
There was also another time in my senior year where he followed me down
the hallways to the restroom during my free sixth period. I was and
still am very hesitant speaking up because I was afraid people would
take this the wrong way and feel as though coming forward about him is
unjustified. However, I feel as though I have to bring attention to this
because I was very afraid of him in both my junior and senior years and
did everything I could to avoid him. People need to be held accountable
for their actions, otherwise they will believe that they can get away
with these intolerable acts.
When I was a junior, I was in a really abusive relationship Jahlique
Stephens. He recorded us having intercourse without my consent and
threatened to share it if I left him. He also shared other private
photos of mine with the football team and they harassed me and teased me
about having seen the photos
People were saying for years how Moises Davila made them uncomfortable
and his predatory behavior was exposed in high school when he preyed on
middle school girls but AHS never did anything. After he graduated,
people found out he, as a 20 year old man, was engaging in sexual acts
with multiple 8-10 year olds. He’s now registered as a sex offender but
when people brought up his predatory behavior in high school, no formal
action was taken AND the school district hired him after he graduated to
work with young children.
