Florida teen fights expulsion and criminal charges for same sex relationship - West Palm Beach Top News | Examiner.com
Hunt was a highly respected student at Floridas Sebastian River High School with good grades and participation in cheerleading, basketball and chorus. She was even voted most school spirit.
All of that changed when she started dating a fellow student, a girl she met on the basketball team, at the beginning of the school year.
According to Kaitlyns father, Steven R. Hunt, Jr., the relationship caused waves at the school from the start. His daughter was dropped from the basketball team because the coach feared a same-sex relationship would bring unwanted drama.
Then the family was shocked and devastated when police came to their home in February to arrest Kaitlyn. She was charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12 16 years of age.
Kaitlyn was 18 and her 15-year-old girlfriend's parents pressed charges. Hunts mother, Kelley Hunt Smith, says the other set of parents have made it their mission to destroy her daughters life, all because they cant accept that their child was in a same sex relationship.
