Suicide of Audrie Pott
Audrie Taylor Pott (May 27, 1997 – September 12, 2012) was a 15-year-old student at Saratoga High School in Saratoga, California, who died by suicide. She had been sexually assaulted at a party eight days earlier by three 16-year-old boys she knew and nude pictures of her were posted online. She was also bullied.
On September 3, 2012 while at a party, Pott was dragged sexually assaulted after she passed out because she was drunk. Markers were also used to draw and write on her body, and photographs were taken and shared on social network.
On September 12, 2012, she killed herself by hanging.
On September 30, 2014, California Governor Jerry Brown signed Audrie's Law, "a bill that increases penalties and decreases privacy protections for teens convicted of sex acts on someone who is passed out from drugs or alcohol".
