(TW: Sexual Assualt)

I, Giseli Gomez was sexually assaulted at Chicopee High School by Bradd Schmidt on Monday, November 28, 2022. 

I was in Malulani Sherlock's class seated next to the aggressor doing my work and every time she was facing the smartboard he would start groping my thighs getting closer to my vagina. And I just sat there and stared. I couldn't move, I didn't know what to do I was in shock. After 20 minutes he got dismissed and asked me for a hug.

I gave him a hug still in shock. When the bell rang I went to my last period and asked Melissa McDonald if I could go to the office and call my mom. I told my mom what had happened and cried. I told her I wanted to go home. Bradd had texted me blowing up my phone and even went as far as posting his fresh self-harm on his Instagram Story and tagging me. I ignored him for days. When he found out what he did wrong, he apologized.

The next day I reported it to David Lemke and stayed in the reset room the next period. The whole month after they separated me and Bradd. And I was angry that I had to switch most of my classes because somebody else assaulted ME, and the only thing that was done was me never seeing him again. 

During those weeks Bradd had started to tell people I was lying, and that I had asked him to do it. Started reporting every text message I sent to him to the school and telling Carol Kruser that I asked for it. And she pulled me out of the first period and sent me home after she antagonized me by telling me to: Stop creating problems for myself after I had asked her what she did about what he did to me. Because apparently, she can't do anything about the assault, even though she is in charge of everything that goes on in CHS.

He tried getting people to jump me and even told people we were dating at the time. And when I reported that to her she dismissed it. 

On December 30th my dad passed away, and I returned to school on Tuesday, January 4, 2023. The next day I went to school and when the second-period bell rang I went upstairs and ran into Bradd. That close for the first time. So I lost control and attacked him in every way I could. I received a day of ISS and I thought it was it.

Thursday, January 9, 2023, was my last day at CHS because a meeting took place that determined for me to have t go to a new school. It's been a month and still, I haven't been put in a school.

I feel like I was wrongly expelled and I should be able to go back to CHS immediately and Sexual Assault should be taken more seriously.
