Obviously lots of holes there. The poor girl obviously didn't have anybody responsible looking out for her. I'm a little confused as to why the police weren't called as soon as parents arrived home, or why she didn't get taken to hospital until 6 p.m. Sunday evening. I know a lot happens "behind the scenes" and I just hope that they get to the truth and this poor girl gets help physically and emotionally.

What happened to the 14 year old aledged victims's brother who assaulted Reddish during the school day. It was stated by many witnesses that he attacked Reddish from behind, knocked him unconscious by hitting his head on the concrete wall. Then continued the assault Reddish inflicting many injuries. I agree with the above. Many holes in the story and why was there no adult supervision and under age drinking. This is why my Female Junior is not able to attend parties. It is not always about trusting your own child. It the other children an families as well. Not knowing what they allow in their homes with their children. I used this as an example to my daughter as to what can happen. I will continue to be the MEAN mom. I don't care. We can't always be with our kids, we can't make decisions for them, but you better believe I tell them why I do what I do.

I agree his act was not to be dismissed. I feel again a lot of missing information. Why did the other kids not take action. I know at that age I would have. I also agree I any boy is found in this situation in my home when I got there you better believe he would not have just left. I am not saying Reddish was framed but there must have been questions unanswered by parents to wait until later in the day to take a rape victim in to be evaluated. Scared or not a minor needs evaluation. I disagree with you the brother was wrong as well. The school apparently had a detail on Rwddish before the lunch period, then felt things were fine. Obviously not. He too was wrong. Hope he did not ruin his college career he is 18 and charged as an adult would guess as well

So sad...nothing more than that to say.

The original article didn't put too much emphasis on her being drunk. Now I see that. Other then that,it could have been consenual.

Brad,I was referring to your article as the "original" and the other was the link Nick posted.

Sounds like they were all intoxicated. The home situation that night sounds like a tragedy waiting to happen. No supervision, children being responsible for children. Why were boys in the house at all? Article said sister was in basement with 2 boys after putting her sister to bed drunk. The boys actions are disgraceful. Sounds more like a long time sexual predator than that of a junior in high school . His life, along with is parents as well as the young girl and her family will NEVER be the same. All need to share accountability for what happened.

There is always more to the story in these type of cases. There is no mention of the two children having prior sexual contact. Were they sexually involved prior to this particular incident??? I have never seen such a detailed account of a sexual assault printed. Protecting the child?? I agree with printing the basic information but there is no need to publish such a detailed account of the alleged incident. If there is a slight chance that the incident did not occur as reported by the alleged victim then where does that leave the accused. A life ruined....Whenever alcohol is involved in an incident everyone assumes that someone is unable to consent. This is not true. Age of Consent in MD is 16. No she can't consent due to her age. I can't wait to see what actually becomes of this case after a thorough investigation occurrs. No mention of interviews with any of the other party goers at the house?? How about their interviews Patch? What did they have to say?? Brad, how can you possibly print all of the above information and not realize that you have basically identified the child from your so called non specific information. If you wanted to protect the child then you would not have been so specific.Bad Taste?? Everyone knows who she is...Unfortunately the Patch has chosen to convict based on a charging document.All the facts of the case aren't placed on a charging document because it is public information. Shame on the Patch!!

I'm not sure I was reading the same article as No mans land... I didn't read ANYTHING in the article that would identify the girl. As for possible prior sexual contact between the two, that is something that will be determined during the investigation. Although even if there has been, it doesn't matter in the case of what allegedly happened last Saturday night. Just because they had sex (if that's determined) in the past doesn't mean it wasn't rape last weekend if the story pans out the way it was reported! It's a sad, sad story anyway you look at it...

No Mans Land: 16 is consenting for everyone. However a 14 year old may consent with someone who is within a 4 year older age range.

This is very sad, for all involved..it sounds to me like there is much information missing in this story, which hopefully will be proven in court...Lives have been ruined here, whether found guilty or innocent and this story is very one-sided.... remember, there's always another version...and somewhere in between hopefully the truth will be told....My thoughts go out to all involved....

I just have to say that none of you know the true story besides the one sided story that was given in this article. obviously the child's parents are not going to comply with being asked questions about how someone ruined his life not knowing if he raped her or not. Any person can say that someone did something to them. Alcohol was ivolved and i believe they did not take her to the hospital till the next day because of her blood alcohol level. All you know is that they have something against the child and they are framing him. If the sister and the 14 year old was worried about proving that he really did rape her then they should have included the names of the other party goers to prove their story. They obviously did not so they are going off her word. I dont believe that the investigation was thero or they would have interviewed every single party that was drinking in the girls home. An adult allegedly was home at the time but where was the supervision? supplying Alcohol to minors? The brother of the 14 year old girl had no right to attack him in a school setting going off his own sisters word when he was not even in his home at the time the incident happened. If you're saying it was okay for him to do what the father did not then you're crazy. You rather her father go to jail for harming a minor? People need to not take one side inless you know the full story which this article does not intail.

This is truly tragic. So many lives have been changed forever. As for the “holes” in the story it seems the basic information is adequate to realize this was a savage, continued attack on a girl who was not capable of protecting herself. Children should not have been in this home drinking underage, the sister should not have “freaked out” and allow the assault to continue, the father should have held the rapist (yes rapist, that is what he is) until the police came after being immediately called and the victim should have been taken for care immediately. No one in this situation acted responsibly.

I’m sorry but Stephen are you really arguing about the age of consent here? This girl was repeated assaulted; it doesn’t matter if she was 14 or 24.....

Also, please people, keep her name (and her families ) out of the comments. She is still a victim until proven otherwise.

I agree...and HE IS Innocent until proven guilty...

Woah hmmmm so many big holes that a tractor trailor could drive through it. Whose to say that before her sister took her to bed that the 14 year old. Didn't say to him meet me in my room after my sister leaves the room. Why die the sister not call the cops? Instead she runs out of the room "freaked out"? Yeah okay. From someone who actually got raped I am so tired of people claiming false rape. The sister and the 14 year old most likely didn't want to get into trouble. So they came up with the story of tape cause daddy caught her having sex. Can't wait to follow this story and watch the charges get droped or changed. Plus where was this "brother" at during the "ALLEGED" rape?

My daughter goes to Patterson and is friends with several people involved in his incident and let me ASSURE YOU, there ARE two sides to every story. Please don't assume the girl is completely innocent. This poor boys life is ruined and hope karma finds its way to this girl, not JUST for this situation either.

It sounds to me this girl didn't wanna get in trouble for drinking and having sex and needed a way out and used this poor kid as a escape goat

Everyone you are letting your emotions cloud the facts in a court of law the truth and what can be proven is fact, there are holes in the stories, people who say this isnt the full story and hersay doesn't work in court, the brother who attacked Reddish is wrong by the letter of the law, there is no justification for that act, the law is the law and witnesses can prove that, as for the rape accusation, multiple injuries isnt enough evidence for a rape charge, plus statistics show that 3/10 rape incident are in fact consensual acts but when people's emotions go too high stuff like this happens and people try to cover up what they did to not get in trouble with parents, let the court system work this problem out, not your own personal brand of justice

What's up with this. The media needs two sides to the story before they put a rape charge on some kid. I almost guarantee that wasn't the true story. Definatly wasn't the whole story... Where was the house with alcohol to get her intoxicated. What about her brother beating him almost to death in a public school? I won't be surprised if the victim is lying?

@ Husky Mom, I agree and know first hand that this girl HAS BEEN headed down a slippery slope for some time now.

As an acquaintance of the Reddish family, it hurt me to read that the young Mr. Reddish was involved in such a terrible incident. I pray that a thorough investigation will prove that young Mr. Reddish is innocent. It's important, though, that all of us local citizens show support for the police as they investigate and for both families. The truth will be told - whatever that may be. The only ones that know the truth are those directly involved at this point.

I'm sorry but why didn't the sister pull him off her? This poor kids life is ruined now because of this

Seems like horrendous parenting all around!!! If we found a naked boy having intercourse with our 14 year old daughter, he wouldn't have been "allowed" to leave the house. Nor would I have waited 16+ hours to get my daughter to the hospital. As some have speculated, they were waiting for alcohol to leave her system, but doesn't no mean no even if under the influence in the eyes of the law? Still much more to this sad story.

This is ridiculous. The details given by the "victim's" family are completely made up. Not calling the police right away, not taking the girl to the hospital right away. Sounds like the father needed some time to think of some fake accusations to press against Reddish. The sister walked out of the room freaked out? Thats completely laughable, why didn't she call the police? Also, why weren't the other drunk minors at the party interviewed? That seems completely germane to the case at hand but somehow they've somehow forgot to include that in the investigation thus far. Sounds like it was consensual but the father needed something to protect his and his family's reputation. The family is ruining a kid's future for no reason. If things don't change, I hope karma comes your way ten fold. The evidence is completely incoherent and insane to be enough to prove Reddish of being guilty.

We don't know all of the facts in this case so we can't let our emotions get the best of us. However, I have children both boys and girls, I try and think how it would effect me if something like this happened in our family. I can say that both sets of parents are going to struggle with all the mistakes that were made that night. They say kids will be kids but, when something this bad happens no one comes out unscaved. I hope all the facts come out about this and if the boy is found guilty, justice should be served. If the girl / parents are not being truthful then they should be repremanded. The hospital tests should be able to prove if a real rape took place.

I think the parents and/or guardians who were in charge (the owner's of the house) should bear the brunt of the responsibility. All this was taking place, and where were they????

Sounds as though a lot of people who commented have first hand knowlege of this girls backround and personality and it is not positive. I was also shocked at the detailed report of the ALLEGED rape. It was like reading a case from Law and Order SVU. Again where did the alcahol come from and where was she drinking. But most of all were were the parents. Their actions after walking in on the situation and getting her medical attention right away were not that of a normal person. Somethings not right with the whole story as told. Hope for everyones sake the full truth comes out and that all are punished accordingly.

All the hospital can do is prove there was intercourse. Can't show whether or not the girl gave consent or if there was a "real rape" (that sounds completely idiotic by the way). They are definitely not telling the real truth. Don't believe everything you read people.

Maybe you should learn more about the test that are done at hospitals. (REALIST)

My final comment...the parents definitely have to look at their parenting skills. Thanks to the girls Facebook page she verified what my child came home last year and told me. That she was caught with an illegal substance, that "maybe" her brother gave her. All her parents did was ground her for a week AND still let her attend the 8th grade dance. Kids watch out what you say on Facebook and Twitter!

yeah, but after 16+ hours, I would think the alleged victim would have taken a shower, or bath, washing away any semen. But then there are always the sheets, unless during those 16 hours laundry was done! (sarcastic here)

As a young adult and alumni of Bel Air High School, I can't help to think to myself how inappropriate it is for adults and parents to publicly banter back and forth about a matter that should be private. Although a criminal case, this incident involves young adolescents who are as irresponsible as we all were in High School. To protect all parties involved, this case should be settled in the court of law and not in the public arena. Although the accused was charged as an adult, neither parties involved have the maturity and responsibility to handle public execution. Not to mention, they are not mature enough to responsibly handle the consequences of their actions. Words spoken now can affect one for a lifetime. Please remember those affected by the Duke Lacrosse scandal. We must also remember that in an age of technology, the comments posted above are not only read by adults but your children and their peers. What type of expectations and examples do we want to set forth? How would your family be affected by a public lashing before the concrete evidence was established and defended?

after reading this completely "one sided" argument i am infuriated. i know people that were at the scene and SOO many details left out. words cannot describe how mad this makes me. That girl was already sexually involved prior to even entering highschool! she has a repulsive image and i would not be surprised if she lied to cover up. You can't expect an immature 14 year old girl to tell the truth in such situation and i pray to god that the truth comes out for everyone's. As stated previously, too many holes in this outrageous story. FREE REDDISH

I am sickened by the comments about this. I know nothing about either one of these CHILDREN except for what I've just read and I believe that nothing in the above article proves anything. I cannot believe that PARENTS of other children are on here commenting about the behavior of other young people. What if this was your son or daughter? It's absolutely disgusting. I definitely have my own opinions about the actions of the parties involved, but I would never comment on anything that I do not know %100 about. PATCH, I also think it is incredibly irresponsible of you to continue to allow posting on this subject seeing as we are talking about 2 young people under the age of 18. Are you even allowed to legally post this? This is seeming like a tabloid magazine and, again, we are all talking about children. I will be permanently removed from your mailing list. Shame on all of you who are passing judgements and/or allowing this public bashing to continue.

I deleted a comment from John that could be considered false, misleading or defamatory. http://belair.patch.com/terms -BG

This is a terrible description of the incident. I know Kyle and everyone at school knows he wouldn't do anything like this story depicts. If you were a 14 year-old girl and your father was as violent as to instruct his son to attack Kyle, wouldn't you be afraid to tell your father that you wanted to have sexual relations with any boy and back him up? She is lying and scared to tell the truth because of both her age and her pressures by the rest of her family. Why was Kyle there with her? Because she invited him over and had an interest in him. Alcohol can lead to poor decisions. This sort of thing happens all the time at parties and this situation got blown completely out of proportion. I'm not saying that rape occurs at parties but many people have sex and its normal. If the father didn't walk in on Kyle, this wouldn't have been a big deal at all but now Kyles life is ruined. And no one who really knows kyle would ever think he would beat a girl. Would he be the one hitting her? Or maybe a furious, violent father that cant cope with the fact that his 14 year-old daughter actually wanted to perform in sexual activities? Knowing Kyle, this story seems completely ridiculous.

This is why kids underage shouldn't drink and partyyyyyyy

tragic.....only comment I have is....why were the kids over the house when the parents weren't there?? there appears to be holes in the story about what happened.

Some things are better left unsaid. Does everything have to hit the news?!?! Arent the parties involved suffering enough!!

John i need u to E-mail me

^^ AMEN!! How inappropriate of a post!...

To the Reddish family,
If for some reason you are reading these comments,
please know there are people who believe in you and your son and
will stand behind you!!!

I have deleted a comment from jj because it was harassing and defamatory. http://belair.patch.com/terms -BG

Your exactly right jj any father would kill that boy... Buy he did NOTHING there story is completely fabricated

As I read these posts I became more and more infuriated by the crazy, emotional and narrow minded rantings from people who are convinced that they are right and everyone else with a different point of view must be lying. And then I read the posts from EL and Melissa. Both are well articulated and summon up the situation perfectly. Thanks to both for showing emotional maturity and concern for others. And let's all remember that we are dealing with CHILDREN, who need our understanding and love, now more than ever.

And let's all remember that we are dealing with CHILDREN, who need our understanding and love, now more than ever.

Well said, @Doug

Nah the kids being charged as an adult therefore in my eyes he's not s child

They wanna drink and party like adults they'll get treated as so

Still can't understand how come a student can get beat up at school after the school was warned it was going to happen and there are no charges against the boy who did the beating! Who's responsible for the boy getting hurt? Happened on school property.....just saying....

Innocent until proven guilty. I'm tired of all the tasteless comments. How about you all stop and let the courts decide. God help both families.

This is sick that people who don't know the real story try to act like they know every single little detail. Kyle was nearly beaten to death. No where does it say if anyone asked the so called "victim" if she wanted to have sex with Kyle. That's 1 problem. Also, I dont think it is appropriate that Kyle is getting charged as an adult. Everything that has happened so far has already ruined his life. He is a 16 year old child where he has the rest of his life ahead of him, why would people do this to him?? He has so much potential in making a name for himself and doing something big. I know Kyle though and he will take this day by day and overcome this sick and false incident. Also, nowhere in this article does it say that the "victim's" father allegedlly strangled Kyle while he and his daughter were performing sexual intercourse. Both sides need to be interviewed to have a story. Therefore every person reading this story shouldnt even bother to read it. This story could be completly false but since both stories aren't in this only the people that are close with the people in this incident with know exactly what happened.

If my daughter walked in on what she thought was her sister being raped she would have done anything possible to help and protect her sister not leave if my husband walked into my daughters room and had seen a naked boy you better believe he is not telling him to leave he is calling 911!!! Also the article states that her father came home, was the stepmother already at home? I'm pretty sure they new they were drinking also, probably a normal thing to do there!! So many holes in this story I don't know either one but I believe the only victim is Kyle!! So my question is when his name is finally cleared by way of investigation or by the guilt finally weakening the girl (doubt it) so by investigation will the reddish family sue the Baltimore sun and bel air patch for writing a clearly one sided story for dragging this boys name down? I mean shouldn't you have waited until ALL the FACTS were given!?

I'm disgusted with the way The Patch has covered this story.

ss - just like in the Hanley story, The Patch reported what was in the charging documents and the online court records, along with the fact that all of the involved parties who were asked for a comment declined to do so. Please explain to me exactly how this is disgusting.

Because the story is full of holes!!!!!!!! Her sister leaves the room freaked out, the father just tells the boy to leave the non custodial parent comes in town to have to take her to the hospital the next day! She was passed out but yet she remembers having her clothes taken off and performing several sexual acts but she was passed out! Oh and minors had total access to get drunk, so what do the parents get charged with? The witnesses either at that time did not have a lawyer with them to be questioned or maybe they are freaked out because the girls brother tried to beat Kyle to death

Never underestimate a teenager girl's willingness to lie when her sexual purity is challenged.

I thought the law protects all person's under 18 from having their names released until they are proven guilty by a court of Law. reguardless if he is being charged as an adult or not he is still a minor and has the right to a trial and not in the cort of public opinion. I am disgusted that the Media has chosen to release any names in this case sooo prematerly reguarless of the "He said she said drama"! My father's life was ruined by the Media for something that de didn't do, and for what ... A story. Wow! I agree with those who say leave it to the professionals! I hope All the families involved go after the Media when all is said and done! I do also believe in Karma

enough Brad, I think alot will agree with me when I say it's time remove this boys face and this article as your "top story" Let the police and the people directly involved deal with this.

@SS I agree fully with your statement. I guess news is slow in Harford County.

Regarding the incident for which the young man is charge - the judicial system appears to be appropriately involved. My hope is that the full truth is disclosed and for a just outcome.

HOWEVER, my immediate concern is for the zero tolerance policy for violent behavior in the schools. The child who initiated the violent attack at school needs to be removed from the school - all the students in PMMHS need to fully understand that this behavior is inappropriate and also need to be assured that school is a safe place with the primary purpose of learning.

Anyone who is for "the victim's brother" (because no one wants to state the a hole's name who tried to ill a kid in the middle of a school day) doesn't know the real story. You all think you know exactly what happened when you don't. All you hear is that he "raped" her which is just BS. If you were close to Kyle like I was then you'd know the right story like I do, and you would support Kyle 100% of the way. Learn the right story before you go and judge a kid. Kyle is the nicest and funniest kid you could ever meet. One night can't change a kid. Kyle is my Boy till Death!

I'm sure the States Attorney carefully considered the facts before deciding to file second degree charges. Second degree means the victim was mentally incapable of giving consent. Whether the victim was sexually active before this or not has no bearing. It’s clear the opinion of the State's Attorney is that she was "mentally" incapacitated enough (probably by the alcohol) to not give consent and the accused should have known better. As for the fathers actions, we like to think we would act differently but until you're in that situation you really have no idea. Had the father done something else, as many have suggested, this would have been a bigger tragedy because certainly he could have been charged. The brother’s actions ,while wrong, are certainly understandable. Anyone who says anything different is simply not being honest. If someone in your family is attacked I would argue many of you would react exactly the same way. In the end whether the victim is lying or not, whether she consented or not may not matter. The only question under the law seems to be was she mentally impaired enough to not give consent. I’m sure there were tests run and samples taken by the hospital(s) and they were part of the state’s decision to file the charges. As tragic as this is I’m using it as a teaching opportunity for my kids and hopefully many other parents will as well. My hope is that this does not ruin the lives of either of these two people or the people around them.

is the other kid being charged with 1st degree attempted murder b/c he obviously was trying to kill him and it seems obv that it was premeditated

and this was in the baltimore sun 'after which the father found his daughter lying unconscious on the bed covered by a blanket.' if my daughter was unconscious in her bed im pretty sure i wouldnt wait 16 hrs to take her to the hospital...

if someone hurt my sister they would be in worse condition that unconscious

I have deleted a comment from Mike Joness for its excessive use of profanity. http://belair.patch.com/terms -BG

fine ill clean it up for u if your daughter was UNCONSCIOUS Y WOULD IT TAKE YOU 16 HOURS TO GET HER TO THE HOSPITAL and that 14 y.o girl got caught having sex she freaks out and says she was raped so many inconsistencies in their whole story i mean really 16 hours is a very long time to figure out a story to put together not to mention what did her sister do wen she was 'freaking out' werent there other ppl downstairs she coulda told

There are so many possible reasons why a parent might react one way or another and to speculate is pointless. I would agree that if she really was "unconscious" then an ambulance should have been called. My guess is that it was a poor choice of words. She was probably just too impaired to be coherent but not actually unconscious.

I only saw this reported here, didn't hear anything about it on tv. What exactly happened during the school day between the two males?

I think it's safe to say that a majority of parents here would agree that there is no way we would just let some naked boy leave our homes if we had thought he raped our daughter! So to the fact that he just told him to leave and it took 16 hours to get her checked out and her mother had to come in from out of town to do so not the father not the stepmother in which she lives with ! And she was knocked out but the father didn't call 911, please this boy is not guilty!!!

lynn the other kid punched kyle in the back of the head into a concrete wall and continued to bang his head into a wall after he was knocked out sounds like attempted murder to me

All i have to say is that Kyle is innocent. i go to patterson mill and kiyle dated my sister. i know kyles family and can you imagin how hard this is on his little brother? when they go to court the truth is going to come out. The family cant even get their stroies straight. in court they are going to be interviewd 1 by 1 and no one is going to be there to tell the lying 14 year old what to say. She ruined his life for no apparent reason besides that her daddy walked in on her having sex with him and cried rape. i hope her brother gets charged with assult or expeled from school. He could have killed kyle. She better watch out in school because everyone knows she lied and it will not be a good enviroment for her. Please like Kyle is innocent on Fb and write on his wall to show your support for him. He needs it.

Okay, I hear stories such as this one all the time. I strongly believe that this girl got inebriated and decided to have sex with the accused. Then, her father came home, caught her in the act, and thus the story unfolds. I believe Kyle to be only guilty of being a young boy with raging hormones who was probably seduced by a girl with a less than clean reputation. Honestly, the brother was only protecting his little sister, however, it was cruel and completely out of line. I hope everyone realizes this case was made up by the girl and her family and they've successfully ruined a child's life. GOOD JOB!

At sheliah...... Amen

Regardless of the outcome of this unfortunate aspect of the situation, I hope that any other students who were present at this gathering are suspended from all athletic and other extracurricular activities for violating the HCPS alcohol rule.

NFL star in the making...sickening.

Ginka you are a ignorant fool

Let's just say that the girl in question was intoxicated, has a history of being intoxicated and has a history of engaging in sexual acts when in such condition....now, she approaches the accused with "seduction" in mind as mentioned in a previous comment. The accused could have said "NO"....he could have shown his character at this point instead of acting like a pig. He could have said "If you feel the same way tomorrow, when you are not intoxicated and can make clear decisions, we can then." No, he showed his true character, a scumbag. He showed that he is a young man that has not been taught how to treat a young woman, whether she is promisquous or not. Clearly he wanted sex. What 16 year old boy doesn't, right?? So, he did indeed take advantage of a situation. What happens if the girl becomes pregnant? What happens if a STD is contracted? What if a lot of things......
..

Well everyone just remember "ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW"as far as fb and wall writing those comments as well can be used in court...Just saying

Even adults don't think clearly when drunk, why would teenagers ? If she is so worried about stds or getting pregnant she should keep her legs closed and pants up! Kyle did not rape her anyone can read and see nothing sounds right from the start with her family let's face it she got caught having sex gets in trouble now it's rape give me a break!!

A comment from Leslie was removed because it may have violated a party's right to privacy. http://belair.patch.com/terms -BG

@Holly, you have that right! I doubt she thought about STD's and pregnancy any other time she engaged in sex. Both of the kids were drunk and why should he say no? Ginka, I think you're just pulling these thoughts out of your ass.

I have a 15 year old daughter and a 20 year old daughter and I don t let either of them leave the houise and for GOOD REASON because the world is a DANGEROUS PLACE. I'm not pointin fingers at anyone but THIS should be a REMINDER that kids should not be left to do what they wan't goin to partys and getting drunk of ALCOHOL which is a DRUG and is illegal for TEENS

The parents should be out on bail as well............shame on them all !!

amazing....the girls names are protected...and so should Kyle's. you all don't have all the facts....I know kids don't want to tell the whole story straight...I know my own kids, you sometimes have to listen to the story quite a few times to get the whole details from them. mine see why you don't go to kids houses when the parents aren't home......mine understand why I want to know if the parents are home and where do they live, etc.....they seen how things get blown out of proportion.

I feel bad for Kyle because his name is being smeared and HE IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY......social services needs to QUICKLY intervene in the household of the kids and get all those kids in to counseling and the parents too, obviously something happened but details aren't out yet.

REMEMBER, INNOCENT until proven guilty.

Everyone can say what they would have done if they were the Dad, brother, sister, etc...Where was the parents at? The bottom line is that you were not in that situation so who's to say what you would have done. It's amazing how many twisted stories have been mentioned on this blog. Drinking was involved, but come to find out the boy was sober which makes it even worse. No one deserves to be violated like that...No one! This boy took advantage of this girl who was completely intoxicated. He knew what he was doing. There are consequences to your actions. I think we should start teaching that to our children more often. For those who are parents, instead of speculating on what happened...invest your time in your children and educate them on the effects of under age drinking. For all those young woman...we need to stick together. Always have each other's back. For those young men...never take advantage of a girl who has been drinking..nothing good will come out of the situation....same goes for the young woman. Always be in control!!!! You can prevent things like this from happening if you are in control at all times! This is a very sad situation for all parties involved.

First let me say any common sense good parent would not leave their underage children at home with alcohol free to drink, no normal parent would let a naked boy leave their home if they thought for one moment they had harmed their daughter!! To show what great parents they are they waited 16 hours before getting her checked out!!!! NO brother or sister would ever leave their younger sibling in a room if they thought they were being raped!!! SO please stop saying you don't know what you would do in that situation!! WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO IF OUR CHILD WAS RAPED YOU CALL 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kyle is innocent 100%

Oh Holly...You don't have all the facts. Of course, if I knew my child was being raped I would call 911. There were multiple people hanging out at this house...As a parent your first reaction would be Wow..I just walked in on my daughter having sex....Not, did you just rape my daughter! So as I said before...stop speculating! Yeah, I would have never allowed a boy to be alone with my sister knowing she was wasted...but then again I'm not a teenager. You can be a good parent and still have your children drink and have sex behind your back or in your own home. So, stop trying to justify this boys actions! Just because the parents were not home and there was drinking involved doesn't make them bad parents. How many parents leave their 14, 15, 16 year old children at home on a Friday or Saturday night to go have dinner? Many people do and it doesn't mean your a bad parent. Having sex with a someone who is intoxicated and passed out is 100% wrong! I think everyone would agree with that!

SOMEWHERE MY MAN OJ IS SMILING CAUSE NOBODY, I MEAN NOBODY CIRCLES THE WAGONS LIKE THE BUFFALO BILLS BABY!!!

In other news, let's just start callin' this kid Mini Ben, cause Big Ben is already taken...makin' kicks, rapin' chicks, Mini Ben

Oh Norton...Look I hope he's innocent, honestly it hasn't affected my life and it won't so I don't really care what happened. I'm sure he's a good kid but that doesn't mean he can't make a mistake, anything can happen when your drunk, stupid decisions cause stupid decisions. The story above is only one side, i can only go off of what I read, so when someone gives me the other side, I'll hop on their bandwagon, but for now GO BILLS BABY YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It seems alot of people do not understand the 2nd degree part of the charges.

2nd degree means the victim is unable to consent. It does not matter if she is loose or morally not right, she was to drunk to consent and he knew better. It is punishable by a 5 year minimum and 20 year maximum and makes him a sex offender, if convicted. Her sexual history is not at all admissable. This is why we have rape shield laws in this state, because for years women have been afraid to report rape because they fear what many of you are doing to this young girl. He may be a "nice guy" but his bad judgement landed him in a whole heap of trouble. The facts in the police report are enough to proceed to trial without the victim even wanting to press charges.

Another name for this is acquantiance rape or date rape. It is not acceptable no matter the age.

Bottom line....teenagers drinking and unsupervised is a disaster waiting to happen..and well it did.. here in good ole Harford County..Parents need to print this article off and sit down with their kids and PARENTS teach their kids about REAL life and not leave it up to the schools and peers to do so and Dont Assume your kid wouldnt do such a thing, Im sure both sets of parents didnt think this would happen and yet it did. I do wish that HCPS would not focus only on teaching kids about safe sex but about the RAMIFICATIONS of EVERY aspect of sex. I ask that everyone pray for these two families involved and that lessons will be learned by all and healing can start.

It will be interesting to see if he is geared up and playing next game. His life should go on as normal. Innocent until proven guilty.

uh it makes you a parent knowing that you left you kids at home knowing that they were drinking and allowing their friends to do so also, if she was being raped the sister would not have just left the room freaked out and the oldest daughter would have also told her father when he came in and when the father went into his daughters room and had seen the naked person standing there, what do you think would have happened. I don't think the second degree is going to stand either, the story the family keeps giving changes a little each time, she can not be passed out but crying and passed and remember taking her clothes off and performing sexual acts!!

I am very disturbed by so many aspects of this case I am not sure where to start.
1. I am confused by whether or not the accused was also drinking when the Dad kicked him out of the house. He made a kid drive home drunk?
2. As a parent of teenagers (boys and girls) I am trying to understand why the police weren't contacted immediately? Was it because the victim was so drunk it would have been suspicious?
3. The fact that so many people are saying on this forum that it was and it is appropriate for someone to violently attack a kid is a little disturbing. Talk about bad judgment and creating more problems. I was date raped when I was 15 and I fail to see how getting my Dad and/or brothers further involed in a horrible situation would have made it any better.
4. The brother who attacked this boy at school hasnt gotten in any trouble which is also problematic. I am still trying to figure out how it is that the school was alerted to the threat the brother was making and ignored it. Why exactly do we have resource officers in the school for anyway?

This whole situation is extremely upsetting for all involved and this subject should be talked about during all the alcohol and drug sessions maybe in conjunction with the Sexual Assault Resource Center.

Sheliah said: "I believe Kyle to be only guilty of being a young boy with raging hormones who was probably seduced by a girl with a less than clean reputation."

That's the most disgusting thing I've read on here yet. Blame the victim mentality is abhorrent.

He who is without sin can cast the first stone. Everyone on here who has led a blameless life can be judge and jury without all the facts. You should only hope God is as merciful to you as you have been to these children because there will come a day when you will be measured against the measure you used in this life. Nobody is "innocent" in this story, but then again, none who are commenting here are blameless as well, including me. A sixteen year old's life may be ruined from a very stupid act or a series of stupid acts. A fourteen year old girls life is also forever altered. and for what? Did the girl truly want to press charges - have her life questioned in the public square? The smartest comment on here is from someone who is still almost a child - a recent graduate of PMHS. But there is too much blood in the water for the sharks to leave. If found innocent, i wonder if the Patch Network is bounded/incorporated. You may have the legal right to print this gossip column but you are helping to destroy the lives of two minors. Sleep well tonight.

and now it's on all the news reports...of course, no mention of the accused being beat up.....so frustrating!!!!

you all can't believe one side of a story.. There are tons of flaws inn this stoory and leaving out parts. First of all this girl shouldn't have been drinking she is extremely young and there was a party.. Where are the parents? I know kyle and don't think h would ever force himself upon a girl. I hope the truth comes out and all parties will suffer deserving consequences. I know it does not mean anything but that whole family of the girls has gotten in trouble many times before and older siblings are not good influences.

UPDATE: Kyle Reddish's lawyer said his client was assaulted by his accuser's brother. Police report aligns with accusations: http://patch.com/A-mxdV

Let us pray for these children and their families.Please allow these families to deal with this horrific situation privately Instead of rehashing details and dwelling on who did what let us redirect our energies and focus on educating parents and students about the dangers of alcohol, drugs..isn't this why we formed the Chemical Free Events Organization?? Sounds like we need to redirect our focus and provide more information and programs to parents and students, as well as provide and engage our youth in other activities..

This is going to make a interesting Lifetime Movie...

I deleted a comment from BJM that could have violated someone's right to privacy. http://belair.patch.com/terms -BG

Enough is enough!! I think this tragic event is becoming so much worse for all parties involved because people can not stop talking about it here! This is not a train wreck...move on and let these victims (all parties involved) and their families have some much needed privacy and the chance to have their day in court! The truth will prevail!!

I deleted another comment. If you say anything that could help identify the 14-year-old girl, your comment will be deleted. -BG

oh yea the poor 14 y.o girl pshh you but u can put another minors name out there good for you no question y u work for a local paper what do u make a year 10000 impressive waiters make more than you

This kid is innocent until proven guilty. The sister walks in and see the sister having sex. Does not call police and then the father comes home. Hope the real story comes out and the parents get charged and the brother.

Also if I walk in and my daughtet is being raped you think that person is leaving my house. Tell the truth so you dont ruin peoples lives.

Adults and kids alike are missing a VERY important message here:

Kids - drugs and alcohol: BAD THING; don't be stupid. You are at an age that you CAN make mature decisions. Drinking doesn't just lead to auto accidents, it leads to making dumb decisions - EVEN AS ADULTS. Learn the lesson now.

Parents - Make sure your kids aren't mixing it up with 'other genders' when you aren't at home. Supervise. Lock up the booze (or get rid of it), and watch your kids behavior. It isn't "cool" that you allow your kids to drink when you are around. Period. It can (and often does) lead to them drinking when you aren't around.

As for the posters that want to slam and slander either party(ies): It's nothing more than bullying. What are you teaching your kids/others kids??? From what I am reading, you are saying it's "ok" to harm others. Let's grow up a bit, shall we?

Where were the adults when all this drinking was going on??? HMMM sounds strange to me. Why did it take sooo long for the so called "victim" to be taken to the hospital?Maybe they had to get all their stories straight. Then again there is alway more to the story then what is being told. Why isnt the name of the person who suckered punched Kyle mentioned? Could it be that he is from a problemed family? NOW, that would be a another story....

I feel that this isnt news that needs to be reported. Report it after the court case. People are holding court in their own minds. Teens often do not use good judgement and using drugs or ETOH only make it worse. Let the police do the investigation, stop with the opinions. The behavior and opinions on here are just sick. I know that my child is still upset by what they saw when that boy beat the other one and no adult did anything to stop it. The RSO did not get in the middle and break it up. I really question the safety at the high school and I am more concerned with that right now then trying this case online. I think we as parents should have an issue with that fact. It could happen to our children. Get jumped or sucker punched. No protection. No adult intervention. WOW! In today's world I would think there would be a plan in place. Want to be uspset? Think about your child's safety at school! I am concerned.

Brad .... Could you please do something about this nick person who is insulting us for our opinions , thanks !

this is called adult bullying , I shouldn't be allowed

There are several parents of children at PMHS who have questioned whether or not their children are safe right now. I know Nick thinks it is okay (he said so) that the brother assaulted Mr. Reddish in a hallway during school, but my daughter is more worried about her safety in regard to the brother than the accused rapist. The school really needs to deal with this problem now. Many of the kids who saw this beating are very upset by it and have subsquently seen this boy back up at the school. They are scared of him and the school was even made aware that he was on the attack and still were unable to thwart him. Then you have people on here saying it is justified...

Fact Kyle got beat up by the brother. What is being done about that. Also the brothers nams is not mentioned because then the media will know who the victim is and smear her face and business all over the news. What adult is getting charged with supplying these kids with alcohol? They are the true criminals in this mess. Its a shame that kids dont have enough sense to make smarter decisions. Leave it to the police and court for justice. Taking matters in your own hands is not the right answer.

There are so many things on this discussion that are truly disturbing. My daughter was raped at age 14. It sent her into a tailspin and it was a little over a year before she was able to tell ANYONE what had happened. You cannot imagine how heartbreaking and painful it is to realize that your child was hurt in this way. Although she finally handed over her diary with the account of what happened, she was unwilling to tell boys full name. Her reason: She thought it was her fault and that OTHERS would think it was her fault too. She is now 16 and was reading the comments on here and said “I am so glad this is not me”. Neither me nor my daughter know who the kids are that are involved in this situation, nor am I saying he did/didn’t rape her or that she is/isn’t lying. But seriously people think about what you are saying about these kids. Do you think a girl in the future would ever come forward and get the help she needs if this is what she will be facing!

OMG! People cant state their own opinion with out having people argue with them and insult them. News has the 1st Amendment right to post what ever they want whether we agree with it or not. We also have the rights to post what we want whether you agree with it or not. Some people on this post are going out of their way to insult people by calling them borderline illiterate when in actuality they are acting socially illiterate toward those who don't agree with them. If you don't like what someone says stop being a Jack-Off and ignore them! Stop stalking them from news post to news post to verbally bash them, and GROW THE HELL UP! What you're doing is form of harassment!

There are always 3 sides of a story. His, hers and the truth. There are many disturbing factors in this story.

What was the 14 year old doing drinking so much according to the story she was vomiting?
How old is the sister that put her to bed and later continued to "party" with "several" boys in the basement?
Was the sister also intoxicated?
Was the boy drunk as well?
The Patch story says the girl had "multiple injuries" why did the parents wait 18 hours to see medical treatment?
Why did the sister not call police if she caught the boy having sex with her sister instead of running away "freaked out"?
Why is he charged as an adult but the brother who beat him and picked him up and slammed him on the floor is charged as a juvenile?
Where were the parents?
Where did the booze come from?
Why did the father tell the boy to get out of his house?

I will wait before i judge guilt on this one. We have seen in the past young men get their lives turned upside down and ruined by false accusations of rape.

I remember the things i did at age 16-18 and have to say i was very lucky i never got myself into trouble. I remember drinking with friends and there was always girls around and when the beers are flowing people get loose. There were many occasions myself or friends could have ended up in a similar situation.

Alcohol impairs your ability to decide right from wrong. If both were drinking or drunk they were both impaired.

WELL SAID TOM G!!!!!!!!!

Nick, I agree with a few of your statements in your numerous Patch comments in this as well as other news stories. For example, not all homosexuals are pedophiles as you stated in another post. Many pedophiles are married with children, and are no where near being homosexual. However, most of your comments are deplorable and mean spirited. The brother assaulting the accused certainly wasn't in defense of his lttle sister. Bottom line, it was nothing but outright revenge which makes the brother just as criminal as the accused, if he is guilty. And you endorse that behavior...how sad.
Your comments about what happened that night seem to imply you were there. Well a solid defense attorney will pick the story apart and align all the missing pieces. How do you actually know the 14 yr old was drunk. She may not have been drunk at all. It most definitely would make a great cover up for what happened. Do you really think if the father knew his daughter was being raped when he walked in on them, he would just let the young man go? Put your thinking cap on NIck...something doesn't add up here.
Just wondering if you have too much time on your hands considering your habitual daily comments about everything. That is fine, but please stop being a verbal bully and quit picking on everyone you don't agree with. Do so in a more mature and pleasant manner. It will be most appreciated....Nick.

Is there a chance to delete all article on this? Its obviously a very sensitive subject to many people and if Kyle is not guilty and this child has made up this story (which is very much possible) then it is ruining the reputation of a 16 year old CHILD. Key word here child, they are both children and children make mistakes and they lie and they drink and they have sex. If the girl was intoxicated then how do we know that Kyle wasn't too? It just hurts my heart to see the reputation of a child, who is innocent until proven guilty, get soiled through the media.

This is all such bullshit. I know kyle, i go to school with him. My best friend was going to date him and he never asked for any sexual favors. I also know the girl and her brothers and sisters, and all of the girls in that family have a reputation of lying and whoring around. To her family, she is a innocent little child who would never have sex, she wants to maintain that image. Everyone in PMHS knows kyle is innocent. She admitted to lying about being raped to a people in school, why doesn't the media know about that?

As a friend of the victim i have to say this. She has admitted to close friends that most of the story was made up. Shes my friend but you cant ruin someones life because daddy caught you doing a bad thing. The media needs to interview some people at the party or some students. They will tell you the real story.

To all of the students who claim that the victim admitted to lying:
If this is true (and you actually heard her say it), you have a responsibilty to go to the police and tell them. If you aren't willing to do this, it's inflammatory and useless for you to come here and make accusations such as these. All this accomplishes is to give the impression that you are friends of the accused who are simply sticking up for him. If you have first-hand knowledge, really want to help Kyle, and want to see justice done, start talking to those who matter, not people on websites. (Nothing personal, Brad!)

To those of you who knows anything please email me @ ladybooker3@gmail.com
