Audrie Pott’s Case
Pott’s daughter, Audrie, was a sophomore at Saratoga High School in 2012 when she took her own life.
It happened eight days after she attended a party where three male students also attending the school admitted they sexually assaulted the 15-year-old, took photos of her and wrote lewd messages on her private areas when she was passed out.
Two of the boys were sentenced to 30 days in juvenile hall, served on weekends. The third boy was sentenced to 45 consecutive days.
No one was expelled from Saratoga High School.
Pott believes that decision to allow the boys back on campus sent a dangerous message to students at both high schools.
“I was raped,” Lozoya told the Investigative Unit.
Lozoya was a freshman at Los Gatos High School (LGHS) in February 2020 when she says she had drinks at a house with an upperclassman.
“One thing led to another, and I was begging him to stop. He wouldn’t,” she said. “I just vividly remember closing my eyes so tight and just waiting for it to be over, and my head was just hitting a wall.”
“He dropped me off at the end of the street,” she said. Mia Lozoya shares her experience of being sexually assaulted, she says, by another Los Gatos High School student last year.

A reopening proposal in a South Bay school district that would provide just one hour of on-campus instruction per week has sparked outrage among parents, who are staging a rally Friday calling for more in-person learning.
The two high schools serving 3,500 students in the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District have been shut since the pandemic began in March. A group of parents have been pushing since late summer to begin reopening schools.
