CLYDE HILL, WA - An 8th grade girl was raped at a party at a Yarrow Point home in April, according to reports. The rape happened after the girl, 14, fell asleep after drinking at the party. The girl woke up and suspected that she had been assaulted after noticing blood on her clothes; her suspicion was backed up by a medical examination and photos of her passed out that later appeared on social media.
According to court documents, two 17-year-old Bellevue High School boys are being investigated for second-degree rape, according to KOMO News. Although police have not made any arrests, according to the report, police apparently found images of the assault on one of the boys' cell phones.
