Three month campaign of bullying leads to death of 15 year old
Nine Massachusetts teenagers have been charged with involvement in a campaign of bullying that led to the suicide of a 15-year-old girl, Phoebe Prince.
Prince's body was found hanging in the stairway of her family's South Hadley apartment.
"It appears that Phoebe's death on January 14 followed a torturous day for her when she was subjected to verbal harassment and physical abuse," Elizabeth D. Scheibel, a Northwestern District Attorney said.
The New Hampshire County grand jury charged Sean Mulveyhill, 17, of South Hadley, and Austin Renaud 18, of Springfield, with statutory rape. Kayla Narey, 17, of South Hadley was charged with violation of civil rights with bodily injury resulting, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly.
