A Hamilton High female student was allegedly sexually assaulted last week in a restroom by at least one male student — a reported attack partially captured on video and circulated to others, law enforcement officials and school district sources said Tuesday.
The report is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Officials with the Los Angeles Unified School District declined to discuss specifics of what happened, citing the ongoing investigation and the privacy of students.

“An alleged incident occurred on the campus of Hamilton High School last week potentially involving several students in the boys restroom,” the district said in a statement. “The school administration immediately and proactively began coordinating with the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Unified School Police to investigate the issue. Our school crisis team was also activated and students were given an opportunity to speak to counselors about their concerns.”

According to sources familiar with the investigation, a parent of the victim reported the alleged attack to school administration and said a video of it was being shared at the campus.
“I know that the video got to other schools,” said Gil Gamez, president of the Los Angeles School Police Assn.
