TUMWATER, Wash. — Four teenage boys are suspected of sexually assaulting another teenage boy at a sleepover at a Tumwater home, according to new police reports obtained by We.
These new documents reveal how many students were involved, where the incident is believed to have taken place and details about the alleged assault.
The Tumwater Police Department is investigating the alleged sex crimes, which involve students from Bellarmine Preparatory School in Tacoma. The incident occurred off campus and outside of school hours.
A report from the Tacoma Police Department, which initially handled the investigation, details information gathered at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital three weeks ago. Tacoma police were called to the hospital where the 16-year-old victim was being seen after his parents found out about the incident.
Detectives wrote that four teenage boys from Bellarmine are suspected of the sex crime of forcible rape against the fellow student at a home in Tumwater during a sleepover. The report details the victim allegedly “lost a bet” during the sleepover and that the suspects, his friends, gave him a choice: 10 minutes of a beating to the chest, or he could engage in a sex act.
The victim was “pinned down and was forced” to engage in sex, the detectives wrote, and that afterward, other boys held him down and allegedly tried to sexually assault him.
Charges have not been filed against any of the teenage suspects. Two of the four suspects and the victim are 16 years old, according to police records. The ages of the other two suspects were not provided in the records.
Bellarmine Preparatory School is a private Catholic school with fewer than 900 enrolled students, according to the school’s website. It is one of the state’s most prestigious Catholic schools.
We reached out to the school, which said in a statement:
“Bellarmine has a very limited understanding of the event in question, and is not aware of details due to the pending investigation by authorities. Bellarmine learned of an off campus event involving students which apparently occurred some time ago. The event was not connected to, or sponsored by Bellarmine,” said Craig Coovert, the school’s communications director. “Upon learning limited details, Bellarmine promptly contacted the proper authorities who are undertaking the investigation. Bellarmine still does not have full details of what took place and is awaiting the outcome of the official investigation.”
