Texas Town, Courts Fail Cheerleader --FanHouse
She is identified by her real name now, Hillaire. But after almost 21 months she still can't bring herself to say somebody else's.
Hillaire was a cheerleader, yelling for her high school basketball team in a Texas town. A player went to shoot a free throw. Hillaire knelt in silence.
The player had been arrested for allegedly raping her four months earlier. Temporarily cleared of the charge, Rakheem Bolton was back on campus. Because of that, school officials told Hillaire to cheer for him.
"I was not going to do it," she said.
