Dated Dec. 16: Today, we received a report that at approximately 7:00 AM this morning, a female KM student was grabbed by a white male as she walked to school via the bike trail located<\/p>\n
in the city-owned wooded area north of the school and French Field. The student described the subject as being in his mid-thirties, about six feet tall, skinny, and naked<\/p>\n
from the waist down. The student said that as she walked along the trail, the subject jumped out from behind a bush and grabbed her. She broke free and went directly to<\/p>\n
the school and reported the incident to a teacher and Safety Services. Kent Police were contacted and detectives are aggressively working the case. As of this time, no<\/p>\n
one has been arrested.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve alerted our staff, increased visibility of our security personnel, and reminded<\/p>\n
our students of the importance of following safe routes between classes and to and<\/p>\n
from school. Please take some time to review with your children precautions they<\/p>\n
should remember to stay safe at all times.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Tell an adult immediately if they see someone or something that makes them<\/p>\n
worry or feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Stay with friends. Don\u2019t travel alone.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Always stay in well-supervised areas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Student safety is our first priority. If you have any information that will help police in<\/p>\n
their investigation, call 911 or K-M Safety Services at 253-373-4023. We will make sure<\/p>\n
the information is shared with the investigating detectives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
