G.W. student faces punishment for locker room incident
A male George Washington High School student is facing disciplinary action for allegedly sneaking into the girls' locker room and getting lodged behind the shower wall for several hours.
Principal Jim Vickers said the student, who he would not identify, was not injured in last week's incident, but did cause damage to a brick wall during his escape."He had his father come and get him when school was out," Vickers said. "We think his father probably used a hammer to free him from behind the wall."Vickers said the student sneaked into the locker room during school hours and stationed himself between a short brick wall by the showers and the piping behind it.
He used an ice machine to hoist himself to the top of the brick wall, which is about 18 inches lower than the ceiling."We're guessing he was trying to peek over the top," Vickers said. "But so far, we don't know that he actually saw anyone. I have no reports that anyone was a victim of that."However, the day after the student was caught, a female student came forward to say she thought she may have spotted someone in the locker room the day before.
Vickers thinks the two students made eye contact, startling the male student behind the wall and causing him to slip.
The student apparently waited until the final bell rang, before using a cell phone he had in his pocket to call his father for help.
Vickers said that the parent entered the school without alerting anyone in the office, heading straight to the locker room to help his son. Later, the father called the school to report the incident.Other students are being investigated for their role in the incident at the South Hills school, but so far only one student has been disciplined.
Vickers declined to say whether the student had been suspended because student records are confidential.Vickers reported it to the Charleston Police Department, but officers declined to investigate because they said a crime had not been committed.However, spying on fellow students in a locker room does fall under Kanawha County's sexual harassment policy.Vickers has been fielding phone calls from concerned parents after rumors started circulating throughout the school."Initially, you want to chuckle when you hear this," Vickers said. "But we're taking it very seriously. People have to know there will be consequences to their actions."

I would have left the dip there.
