A settlement this morning for the family of a south bay girl who killed herself after she was sexually assaulted at a party. But this was about much more than the money. 15yearold audrie pott committed suicide in 2012, just one week after she was assaulted. Abc7 News ReporterLeslie Brinkley has the details. At a High School Party in 2012, 15yearold audrie pott drank a potent punch of vodka and gatorade and passed out. She was then sexually assaulted. Three attackers took pictures and shared them with classmates. Days after the photos emerged. Audrie hanged herself. Three teenage boys were found guilty. One settled out of court last month. Now closer for the family as the other two boys agreed to pay 950,000 as parts of a wrongful death lawsuit. They also had to issue a public apology in court before a judge on friday. The apology included admitting that audrie was not conscious during the assault; that she did not give consent, and that she did not invite or encourage the sexual act. The apology went on to address the suicide, saying, i also apologize for false rumors about audrie that served to shame and humiliate her. Audrie did not deserve, nor would any human being deserve what we put her through. The settlement also requires the boys to be part of a documentary and to talk publicly about the consequences of drinking assaults and sexting. When you talk about them making the rounds in school, talking what they did about trying to educate other kids and to prevent it from happening again, i cant imagine a better way to send a message. Many parents at the high school did not want to talk about the settlement, but some were relieved. It is anonymous, there is consciousness among parents now based on this case. They hope lessons are learned as the pott family released a statement they are happy their daughters name has been cleared. In san jose, im Leslie Brinkley, abc7 news. Developing news this morning.
