Police said the two girls — ages 17 and 15 — assaulted the boy repeatedly between December and February and used their cellphones to record the attacks. The videos allegedly show them holding a knife to the victim’s throat, forcing him to perform various sexual acts, kicking him in the groin and dragging him around by his hair.

At least once, the two suspects lured the victim onto a partially frozen pond to chase a ball even though they knew the ice was thin, police said. The boy fell through the ice several times, but the suspects refused to help him out of the frigid water, police said. The boy was able to pull himself out of the pond, according to Sgt. Cara Grumbles, a spokeswoman for the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.

All three teens attended Chopticon High School in Morganza.

In her interview with The Post, the mother said she has pressed her son for details about what happened between him and the girls. But her son, who was diagnosed with autism in elementary school, hasn’t been forthcoming and shrugged off the alleged assaults as playful behavior. The mother said her son is fairly independent and performs well in classes but is socially “naive” and cannot comprehend that he may have been manipulated.

I sympathize greatly with this naive youth.

His attackers are lucky they live in America and not a country where ironic punishments are the law of the land.

I think that along with our righteous indignation we should credit this kid where it's due for his capacity to forgive. He may not know all the words to follow through yet. Naivete gets a distorted meaning from middle-aged adults with lives too complex to accommodate certain systems of reasoning (one of them probably wrote the article). Seems to me that high school only ever gets crazier, and I find it completely possible that this story were put together without any actual regard for or correspondence with its' subject. It's possible that he was being completely honest and one crazy girl really did drag his girlfriend into Juvenile detention. Blackmail was INVENTED in high school...
