Listen "School Safety Failures"
Episode Synopsis
Host Rick Outzen sits down with Levin Papantonio attorney Rachel Gilmer to discuss a deeply troubling sexual assault case at Gulf Breeze High School that highlights critical failures in student safety and supervision.In March 2024, a 15-year-old varsity basketball player was sexually assaulted by a fellow student athlete in what Gilmer describes as "a recipe for disaster" created by inadequate supervision and inconsistent enforcement of school policie, according to the filed complaint.Gilmer details how multiple red flags were ignored: the accused student had a known pattern of wandering the school during class time without consequences, female athletes were left unsupervised and directed to retrieve equipment from the boys' locker room, and school administration failed to take adequate disciplinary action despite repeated violations.Perhaps most disturbing, Gilmer explains how the school's response after the assault compounded the trauma - failing to immediately notify parents, not suspending the accused student, and offering only a "no-contact agreement" as protection. The victim ultimately had to leave Gulf Breeze High School entirely.
