A teenage victim of an alleged rape in Maryville, Missouri, has tried to take her own life. In 2012, Daisy Coleman, then 14 years old, claimed she was given alcohol and raped during a gathering of high-school athletes while another teen filmed the incident on his phone. Despite reported evidence and interviews supporting the case, prosecutors dropped charges against Coleman’s accused rapist. Coleman’s family says she tried to commit suicide this weekend by overdosing on pills after being bullied online. Coleman was rushed to a hospital where she remains in recovery. It was her third suicide attempt since the alleged rape.
