Aiken County Board of Education members say they were unaware of a rape at Aiken High School last school year until media coverage on Tuesday. The incident reportedly occurred when a teacher briefly left a classroom leaving a 16 year old girl with a male student assailant. District policy prohibits leaving students unattended.
