School official gets diversion in failure to report rape
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The assistant principal at a Tennessee high school where basketball players are accused of raping younger teammates has been sentenced to community service and a class on mandatory reporting for failing to report the abuse.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports (http://bit.ly/27dSeVS) the judge on Wednesday approved a pre-trial diversion plan for Allard "Jesse" Nayadley, which includes 10 hours of community service. If he complies, his record can be wiped clean after six months.
