Two Hirschi High School male students are suspected of sexually assaulting a female student at the campus.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit:

The incident occurred Sept. 6. Wichita Falls Police were called to the school, where an administrator told them a 16-year-old girl said she had been sexually assaulted earlier in the day. The girl was taken to Patsy's House Child Advocacy Center for a forensic interview. She said she had been walking in a hallway between classes when she encountered two male students. One was identified as Xavier Jose White, 17. Police did not reveal the identity of the second student because he is a juvenile.

The girl said White grabbed her by her hands and pulled her into a stairwell where both the students began fondling her. She said the juvenile hoisted her over his shoulder and carried her to the school's auditorium where he forced her into a secluded room behind the stage. There, she said the juvenile forced her to sit on his lap while White continued to hold her hands. She said the juvenile put his hand under her skirt and sexually assaulted her, and White tried to kiss her and bit her on the neck. The girl said she told her assailants to stop, but they laughed at her.

Both male students admitted their roles in the attack when investigators interviewed them. Surveillance video also showed the juvenile carrying the victim down the hall.

White faces sexual assault of a child charges. His bond was initially set at $250,000 but then lowered to $25,000. He was in the Wichita County Jail Monday. The younger suspect was turned over to juvenile authorities.
