Grand jury scheduled to meet in cheerleader case

The Hardin County grand jury is scheduled to meet Tuesday to investigate a cheerleader's allegations she was sexually assaulted by three football players.

In January a previous grand jury decided not to indict three Silsbee High School football players, including a juvenile.

They were charged with sexually assaulting the cheerleader in October of 2008 during a party away from the Silsbee High School campus.

The girl says she was pushed into a room and sexually assaulted while the door was locked.

Attorney David Barlow was appointed special prosecutor to present the case to the grand jury.

The panel is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday, November 24.
