- Sex Scandal
-
During the 1997-1998 school year, the school became infamous throughout the Detroit metropolitan area for the "Grosse Pointe North Sex Scandal". The scandal was about the alleged rape/sexual assault of three intoxicated 14-year-old freshmen girls by a group of four senior men (all legal age.) The scandal became public when a picture of one of these senior men, with his genitals exposed, appeared in the student yearbook. Ultimately, the evidence and testimony were only found to support the trial of one of these seniors, and he pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge—contributing to the delinquency of minors—to avoid a possible felony conviction for sexual assault. He then served a 4-month sentence in Wayne County Jail.
- The sex scandal became so highly publicized that it spread to the national media and even 48 Hours of CBS dedicated a full episode to the scandal. The episode, released on November 19, 1998, was titled Cry Rape.
