TOPEKA, Kan. — Shawnee County authorities have charged a Topeka West High School student who was the subject of protests from other students with 11 sex-related crimes.
District Attorney Mike Kagay says he will ask a judge to charge the student as an adult because of the serious nature of the crimes. The student’s name has not been released because he is a juvenile. Kagay says the 11 charges involve five alleged victims.
Topeka West High School students staged a protest on Sept. 17 because of what they called a lack of response to allegations that the male student had sexually assaulted a female student in July.
