Documents detail Chamberlain High School rape investigation

After a 16-year-old Chamberlain High School student denied having sexual contact with a girl who accused him of rape, a detective asked him to give some DNA.

At that point, Joshua Bynum's mother, Tevecia Bynum, confronted her son, according to a police report.

She asked her son if he and the girl had sexual intercourse, and he said no, the report states. The mother asked if the girl had given him oral sex, and he said yes.

The conversation is described in 43 pages of documents released Friday by the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office. The teen is facing charges of kidnapping and sexual battery in the Oct. 3 assault of another 16-year-old Chamberlain student on school grounds.

According to a police investigation report, after his mother confronted him, Joshua Bynum said he and the girl had consensual sex in a boy's bathroom near the gym at the school. But the actions Bynum described would not have caused injuries the girl received, the report states.

The report also says another student, who described herself as "Josh's cousin, but not his real cousin," told police she had seen the alleged victim, who told her she was going "to do you know what with Josh…you know hint hint to handle business." The student said she asked the girl why they would do that in school. "She said, because I want to." And then she "left with Josh."

Other witnesses reported that the girl had gotten a bathroom pass. They saw her later clutching her stomach in apparent pain and bleeding from her groin.

The girl said Bynum had grabbed her and pulled her into a boys' bathroom that was normally locked. At first, she didn't resist because she didn't know what was happening.

She said Bynum pulled her into a bathroom stall and raped her as she yelled at him to stop. After he was done, he used a tissue to wipe blood off himself and left, she told investigators.

Police later found the bloody tissue where the victim said it would be.

DNA test results were not contained in the documents released Friday.

When Bynum was arrested, he was initially held on $100,000 bail. A judge later allowed his release, but ordered that he wear a GPS monitor, be home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and attend a different school than the victim. A school district spokeswoman said Friday that Bynum is not currently attending school.
