Two Cherokee County high school students are facing criminal charges and school disciplinary action after allegedly engaging in a sex act in the middle of the Etowah High School cafeteria last week.
The sex act between the two freshmen came following a dare, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Some parents questioned why teachers didn’t notice and stop the sex act, but other students told Channel 2 that it was hidden so well that those sitting at the next table had no idea what was going on.
Cherokee County schools issued a statement that said, “Two juvenile Etowah High School students were charged with misdemeanor public indecency for an incident that occurred on Oct. 10. Appropriate school disciplinary action will also occur.”
School spokeswoman Barbara Jacoby released more information on the incident Wednesday afternoon.
A female student “allegedly made a sexual offer to a male classmate during lunch,” Jacoby said in an e-mail. “The male classmate later told administrators that he thought this offer was a joke, but when the female student began to act upon it, the male student said he stopped her.”
Jacoby said students sitting at the same table blocked other students and staff from witnessing what occurred.
“Two of those students said they had recorded some of the incident on their cell phones, but deleted the videos when they realized that they might face charges,” she said. “There is no evidence any video was distributed.”
