Four Norman, Oklahoma, high school wrestlers have been charged with felony rape for allegedly assaulting a 16-year-old and a 12-year-old, according to court documents CNN obtained Tuesday.
Tanner Shane Shipman, 18, and three minors -- two who are 17 and one who is 16 -- are charged with raping the two victims on a school bus on January 9 while their Norman North High School wrestling team was returning home from a tournament in Pauls Valley. The district attorney viewed audio and video from the bus before charging the students.
What the heck! How did this happen, there were adults and a bus driver present. It's complete bs that no adult stopped this. How did they not hear this going on?

Soon afterward, the bus driver activated the interior lights and escorted the victim back to his seat, the documents say. Once the lights were turned back off, the alleged victim was persuaded to come to the back of the bus.
Oh, apparently they did know. So glad they made sure the 12 yr old was safe after the driver turned the lights back off.

Dr. Joseph Siano, superintendent of Norman Public Schools, first issued a statement saying officials followed procedures that allowed them to investigate and take swift action. "We appreciate the individuals who came forward to provide information, the Norman Police Department's thorough investigation and the quick action by the district attorney on this incident. We are well-prepared to handle situations like this and have programs in place to support students who experience trauma," the statement read.
Or you could prevent the traumatic event from ever happening.
This is disgusting, if I were the parents I'd be suing so many people over this.
What was a 12 year old doing on a school bus with high school wrestlers- is he a team member?
Why did the bus driver not leave the lights on/radio for help?
Was there no one else on this bus who objected to this 'behavior' towards these two victims?
Where were the adult chaperones/coaches?
