What is the name of your state? I am in Vermont.
My son (17) was recently on a school sponsored trip out of the country. This trip also included students from another state (MA). While there my son met and 'hooked up' with a girl (16) from the other school. She had told my son that she wanted to have sex with him several days before they actually found the opportunity to do so. Afterwards, she apparently was talking to a friend what had happened; and was upset and somehow this led to her accusing my son of rape. It was HUGE mess with the girl's friend screaming at my son in the hotel lobby in front of their chaperone and my son's chaperone, as well as students from both schools.
Once all students were cleared out; My son spoke to his chaperone, and the girl to hers. The girl eventually admitted that it was consensual, to her chaperone, and to my son and his chaperone.
Yes, the accusation was made VERY publically, the recantation was done privately.
Everyone involved had hoped that except for social consequences, this would all 'die down.'
Now that everyone is home. Apparently the girl's parents have taken the girl to the hospital and police. So, I am assuming they are planning to pursue this legally.
I am just wondering how concerned I should be? She admitted in front of several witnesses that it was NOT rape. I am planning to have my son write out EXACTLY what happened, from when he first met her up until the false accusations occurred.
I am really at a loss of what to do, and advice would be WONDERFUL.
