More Milton Academy Mayhem
You would think that the Boston Herald would be all-over the Milton Academy sex scandal. After all, the story has everything a tabloid is supposed to live for - sex, money, sex, the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and oh, did I mention sex? Well, the Boston Globe has been consistently scooping it's competitor since the story broke on February 18th - that is until today.
Today's Boston Herald carries a Page 2 story by Jennifer Rosinski detailing how, two weeks after the original incident in the Academy's Boys' Locker Room, many of the same teens, including (you cannot make this up) the same 15-year old young lady at the center (literally) of the story, allegedly spent a lovely evening at a local Marriott in what could possibly be described as a drunken orgy disguised as a Sweet-16 party.
Doesn't everyone have Sweet-16 parties in a suite at the Copley Square Marriott, where you are "greeted at the door by two topless girls, including the 15-year-old involved in the earlier oral sex allegation", where the Herald's source "saw the 15-year-old girl engage in oral sex with a boy, witnessed other guests engage in sex acts and watched still others drink beer and other alcoholic drinks".
(As an aside, is it fair to say that this young lady is T-R-O-U-B-L-E, and that while most teenage boys generally let the little-head do the thinking for the big-head, at some point even a hormone-crazed 16-year old boy would have to think that a girl like this is bad news?)
The official Milton Academy position is that this is a separate and unrelated incident from the one that occurred back on January 24th, leading to the expulsion of 5 hockey players and the sending-home of the radioactive young girl on administrative leave.
Separate? Certainly. The Copley Square Marriott is rather a good distance from the Milton Academy campus, and a hotel source confirms that "the birthday girl's mother reserved two rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott for a party on Saturday Feb. 12" - clearly the school was not involved.
Unrelated? Yea, right. Of course these incidents are related. First, it would appear that at least some of the principals - and certainly the main principal – were not only present but active participants in both incidents. Second, let’s be frank here – we’re talking about a culture of permissiveness that clearly is condoned at the school, though it obviously did not start there.
Then there’s this gem from the Herald story
Now, something clearly doesn't add up. If the parents were in the suite next door, don't you think they would notice if a pair of teenage girs, at least one of whom is underage, were answering the door to the next suite topless? Are we to assume that upon being greeted in such a fashion that your average teenage boy wouldn't whoop it up at least a little bit? Would these two girls be so cavalier as to answer the door half in the buff knowing that there were adults supposedly monitoring the action next door?
I suspect we've not heard the last of this story.

But the birthday girl's father last night said he was unaware of any sexual activity at the sleepover he and his wife monitored from the room next door.
"They had some uninvited guests arrive and those uninvited guests were asked to leave,'' he said. "There was some evidence of drinking going on, but unless these kids are way beyond normal there was no sexual activity that I know of.''
