Cheer’s Monica Aldama Accused Of Not Reporting Sexual Assault Case And Bribing Victim To Stay Silent

The team’s culture:

The victim confided in a “veteran” cheerleader who confirmed this wasn’t an uncommon occurrence. The victim was encouraged to “drink it off and get your mind off it” before informing her of the community’s expectations of the cheerleaders’ silence. “We don’t tell anyone. We just keep it to ourselves.”

According to MySanAntonio.com, the “lawsuit says that other women cheerleaders told the victim not to tell anyone about the sexual assault. The other cheerleaders reportedly had other male students follow the victim around school to make sure she didn’t say anything.”
