SEATTLE -- A registered sex offender attending Roosevelt High School has been criminally charged again -- this time, with raping a special education student in an on-campus bathroom.

This occurred just two weeks after KIRO Team 7 Investigators first revealed the fact that the Seattle School District has been quietly mainstreaming juvenile sex offenders.

Our extensive research identified hundreds of students attending public schools in Washington who were previously convicted of rape, child molestation, and sexual assault. The Seattle district claimed it had nine offenders enrolled.

Now, Investigative Reporter Chris Halsne has new questions about the apparent failure of the Seattle Schools plan to keep all students safe.

This latest rape case is going to be a public relations nightmare for Seattle Schools, and a potential liability for taxpayers.

Court documents show an 18-year-old junior at Roosevelt High School groomed a 9th-grade girl with special needs into a "dating relationship," then used the privacy of the schools bathroom to sexually assault her.

Even though he was a level-two registered sex offender, the Seattle School district welcomed Jose Rafael Reyes into its classrooms. They didn't tell other students -- or their parents -- about his past.

At 15-years-old, Reyes was convicted of indecent liberties with force. Previously sealed juvenile court records obtained by KIRO Team 7 Investigators show he used Pokémon-like trading cards to lure child victims.

Read the documents.

While still serving a suspended sentence for that crime, police said that in May, Reyes committed third-degree rape at Roosevelt High School. The victim was in special ed. The charge was first reported Tuesday by SeattleCrime.com.

Fellow students couldn't believe district officials kept this all secret.

"That's so scary," said one student. "He used to call me and text me all the time."

"They should tell the students or warn the students," said another student. "If they're out there, then they shouldn't be able to be in school."

"If no one knows about it, no one is going to be aware or looking out for that," said another student.

Last month, Seattle School District spokesperson Patti Spencer defended its mainstreaming of sex offenders, saying each criminal had a special safety plan. She said the district keeps a close watch on the offenders.

"We do have a very strong process, procedure, plan and monitoring in place," Spencer said. "There are a very small number of these student in the district, and we absolutely stay on top of monitoring to insure a safe and secure environment for every student."

Now Spencer refuses to go back on camera to explain how the system reportedly failed so miserably.

As part of our prior investigation, Team 7 Investigators created a website where parents can go see where registered sex offenders in 51 districts attend classes.

We now know the Seattle School district provided us with inaccurate material when they told us they had zero offenders at Roosevelt High School.

Seattle School spokesperson Spencer also refused to provide a written statement Tuesday, but here's what we gleaned from a short phone conversation with her:

She said, "We are very concerned for the victim in this case and we hope something like this never happens again."

In addition, we discovered the principal at Roosevelt High knew about Reyes' past, but administration did not.

i sat next to him in spanish in freshman year and he would always be looking at porn on his psp.

if a kid was a sex offender at my school, id certainly like to know.

im sure hed get the shit beat out of him everyday.
 
Fucked up. Sounds like a very delicate situation. I mean on the schools side, and i dont know the extent of his previous crime, can they hold a crime against a 15 year old. Growing up in a detention center can seriously fuck you up. It sucks for the school because they thought they were doing right.
And as far as bashing the school like there doing. My girlfriends brother is a sex offender. He got a blowjob while he was drunk for some 13 year old slutty girl, he was 16. He was convicted and has been in juvy for 2 years. is graduating in juvy and gets out in a month at 18 years old. Now that was messed up. but he deserved a second chance.
 
WHAAAAA I go to shorecrest in shoreline and we had a special Ed teacher try to get one of the kids to do stuff with her. She weigh about 500 punds and was always sweaty.

doesnt sound like some druk bjs
 
I may be wrong, but in this case I feel like the media (Something 7) has overstepped grave lines and has created a huge new problem for their own interest.
Of course it is important to protect other students from potentially dangerous people, but by publishing information on who the underage offenders are and where they currently go to school, they have jeopardized everything that has so far worked in terms of reintegrating those people back into society.
The most important thing in youth crimes is to fix the problem at its root and do it while you've till got the chance; ie when they are still protected in the cocoon that is high school and haven't yet been thrust out into the world, something that comes with adulthood (turning legal). Once you lose that opportunity, it becomes exponentially harder for them to reintegrate and become legitimate, contributing members of our society.
By undoing these efforts, this new outlet has potentially denied reformed students the opportunity for a second chance. Investigative journalism at its WORST.
 
they're sex offenders.

they don't deserve to be reintegrated.

i wish america had the balls to take that kid out back of the court room and put a bullet in his head.
 
wow i heard about this earlier today. so no one at roosevelt had any idea about him being a previous sex offender?

this article goes into more detail about the previous crimes.

the weird part is that he wasn't just some lurker everyone knows who he is. he was definatly weird but it was never in a threatening way.

whats really fucked up that i just realized is that he was bragging about his girlfriend and kids kept asking if he had fucked her yet (jokingly because nobody really believed he had a girlfriend) and giving him shit when he would say no.

also he is a pretty jovial guy and I although wierd a lot of people thought he was pretty funny

i have yet to form an opinion on wether or not i would have wanted to know or have teachers know that he was a level 2 sex offender. If i were a girl i think that i would definatly want to know. but also if people knew it would doom him socially and probably fuck up the rest of his life. then again had teachers known about his record the crime could have been prevented.

 
People that live here in WA from Spokane to Vancouver and Bellingham to Pullman all know Colfax, Roosevelt, and portions of Okanagan are fucking jacked up weird.
 
I actually live a couple blocks away from that school, but that is in no way relevant nor do I care about child rapists (get it haha?)~
 
See, what you fail to understand is that these "sex offenders" aren't always rapists or Pedophiles. In January of 2008, an amendment was made in the Sex Offender Registration Act to include the lowest severity of sexual crimes in the registry.
(http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news/local&id=5981872)
"...about 2 years ago, her 15-year-old son was convicted of inappropriately touching his 9-year-old younger sister, a tragedy which shocked her family. When her son was sentenced, a judge determined he was a sexually oriented offender, the lowest severity under the law. But in January the law changed. The family received a letter from the Attorney General's office saying the boy was reclassified to the most severe type of offender.
According to the Ohio Attorney General's Office, more than 26,000 sex offenders were reclassified into a new, three-tier structure. Tier I is for the least serious crimes; registration lasts 15 years for adults, 10 years for juveniles. They must register in person once a year. About 3,000 offenders are tier I.Tier II is the middle level. Registration lasts 25 years for adults and 20 years for juveniles. They have to register every six months. About 8,000 offenders are tier II.Tier III offenders register every 90 days for the rest of their lives. About 14,000 offenders are tier III. More than half of them were in the lowest tier of the state's old law where a judge could choose the tier. But, the new law is based simply on the crime..."Basically what this means is that, say for example your ex decides to be a bitch and accuse you of rape. (happened to a kid on here about a month ago) In reality, you did nothing wrong but in this legal system/society the women win almost a hundred percent and you are convicted. You are then put on the registry, and say you were one of the kids Kiro 7 called out. Would you consider this kid to be the "sex offender" you speak of?Point is, you can't generalize these youth as what you would consider as a "sex offender", especially when they're under the legal age.I wish there were less people like you willing to generalize and categorize everyone, so potentially honest people wouldn't get fucked over by these laws.
 
Not sure how I feel on it. I think more so on your side. In the name of bringing the people news, journalists fuck over so many people all the time. Your family gets murdered and 3 hours later there are news people knocking at your door constantly with absolutely no respect. I wish we could go back to the boring news but america loves it's drama
 
Its yellow journalism. Its making things interesting in order to get people to watch or buy papers. It started during the spanish-american war. William Randolph Hearst said "you provide the pictures, I'll provide the war." Ever since that war reporters go to any extent to try to obtain viewers/sales. The pullitzier prize, a very prestigious journalism award, is given to people who go to any extreme to get the news.

The news hasn't been "boring" for more than 100 years.
 
this and first page!

but seriously that shit is FUCKED UP

hopefully the kid goes to jail then gets raped see how he feels about it
 
What a loser. Dating freshmen when you are 18 is bad enough, dating special needs kids takes it to a new low.

Of course "special needs" could mean anything from can't communicate all the way to a human sperm depository that refuses to read.
