WASHINGTON (AP) — A female high school student at a prominent private school in Washington told police she was raped on campus by her ex-boyfriend, District of Columbia police said Friday.

The student at Sidwell Friends School reported to police that her classmate forced her to have sex on Wednesday, police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said. Sidwell Friends is an exclusive Quaker school attended by the children of many of Washington's elite, including the two daughters of President Barack Obama. It was not clear where on the campus the alleged rape occurred.

The two students knew each other and had a previous sexual relationship, according to a police report. The student told police late Wednesday night that the rape occurred in the afternoon and evening hours, the report said.

The investigation is in the early stages, and police have not been provided with any physical evidence that a rape occurred, Sternbeck said.

1. He said ... she said

Without evidence of coercion, they'll likely not sort out motives. They were involved previously, it's more
like a domestic disturbance with possible sex crime.

Was he after it? Is it payback for a failed relationship for either one of them? Did they sort of still
want to be involved, so they tried again and it went bad, or it got out of hand? Were there regrets
the morning after? Clearly they were not communicating well.

This stuff makes for great material for novelists. Not to diminish the anguish of those involved. Hope
they sort it out truly and compassionately if that's where it's headed.

2. not to diminish the anguish? and yet you do

coming up with all sorts of things other than rape. "not communicating well"? Have you taken leave of your senses? Do you think once people have had a sexual relationship one of them never again has the right to say no?

That sort of attitude is why a lot of victims don't report rapes.

4. It's not been proven

Reporting it does not make it so.
