Officer responded to facility for a welfare check. Caller/guardian advised that about 50 minutes before she called the police department, her husband was on the phone with her daughter who is a patient at Perimeter. While on the phone, juvenile told her father she had been sexually assaulted. Since the phone call, caller said she had attempted to contact juvenile multiple times, but since patients couldn’t have phones, she was not successful as one from Perimeter would answer the phone. Caller also stated her husband heard a staff member say they would look into it.
Upon arrival, the staff acted as if they had not heard of the allegations and didn’t know what the officer was talking about. Officer made contact with juvenile, who reported that on 10/19/23, her roommate had raped her. Juvenile advised she told her roommate she needed a “sneaky-link” because she thought her boyfriend was cheating on her. She said the two kissed, but that her roommate didn’t stop there. She reported her roommate told her she would kill her if she told anyone what happened and continued forcing herself on juvenile. Juvenile said her roommate made her suck on her breast and she reported there was a hickey from her doing it. Juvenile also reported the roommate licked her vagina and stuck her fingers in her vagina. Officer noted that during his interview with the juvenile, she became emotional and started to cry.
Officer spoke with staff who made arrangements for juvenile to be moved rooms. Caller/guardian advised officer she was on her way to the facility to remove juvenile. Perimeter acknowledged they were made aware about an hour prior to officer’s arrival and stated they were completing the hotline while officer was on scene and would email the referral number. As of 1630 hours on 10/22/23, they had not sent the referral number so this officer completed a hotline and received confirmation #.
