PHILLIPS: She was only 15 years old. Why would she want to end her life? She said she was being bullied 1. And her teachers, even her parents, spoke 2 up. But unfortunately that just wasn't enough. Now nine of her classmates stand charged for her suicide.
CNN's Alina Cho has the story.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ELIZABETH SCHEIBEL, DISTRICT ATTORNEY: The harassment 3 reported to have occurred that day in the school's library appears to have been conducted in the presence of a faculty 4 member and several students but went unreported to school administrators 5 until after Phoebe's death.
ALINA CHO, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Phoebe Prince was just 15 years old when she hanged herself in the stairway in the building where she lived with her parents, South Hadley, Massachusetts, about 100 miles from Boston.
Prosecutors 6 say it wasn't an accident. That she was driven to suicide by relentless 7 abuse. SCHEIBEL: The events of January 14th were not isolated 8. Rather, they were the culmination 9 of a nearly three-month campaign of verbally abusive, assaultive behavior, and threats of physical harm towards Phoebe on school grounds by several South Hadley High School students.
CHO: Nine students were indicted 10. Three will be prosecuted 11 as adults. Among them, 17-year-old Sean Mulveyhill facing charges of statutory rape 12 and a violation 13 of civil rights resulting in bodily injury. Eighteen-year-old Austin Renaud also faces statutory rape charges. And 17-year-old Kayla Narey. She'll answer to criminal harassment and civil rights charges.
Phoebe and her family had recently moved to western Massachusetts from Ireland. Students say the torment 14 she endured was harsh. Books routinely knocked out of her hands. Her face scribbled 15 out of photographs on school walls. Threatening text messages constantly sent to her cell phone.
The DA says the alleged 16 bullying 17 --
SCHEIBEL: Appears to have been motivated by the group's displeasure with Phoebe's brief dating relationship with a male student that had ended some six weeks previous.
CHO: At South Hadley High School, students were stunned 18.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Until you guys came around, I had no idea.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think they need to be prosecuted. You know it's not right at all.
CHO (on camera): Do you think they should face charges?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If they had anything to do with it, they should.
CHO: Phoebe Prince isn't the first student in the area to commit suicide in recent months. Last year, an 11-year-old boy subjected to harassment also killed himself. After that suicide, the Massachusetts legislature stepped up work on an anti-bullying law. But so far, that bill has not passed.
