A 17-year-old student has been released on $100,000 bond after being arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl in their school hallway before first period class.
Jocori Marece Scarborough allegedly forced the girl, whose name is being withheld, to follow him down to a hallway in Parkside High School in Maryland. There were no surveillance cameras filming the secluded area where the teens ventured.
The victim told police that Scarborough started making sexual advances as the two were walking together at around 8 a.m. Monday morning.
Allegedly, the teen repeatedly said “no.” The teen said that she was grabbed by her hips and dragged down the hall. Surveillance recording from another area of the hall shows Scarborough grabbing the girl by the arm and forcing her to the area unseen by cameras.

Police are unsure whether Scarborough knew that there was no surveillance footage in that area. Scarborough allegedly lifted up the victim’s skirt before removing her underwear and forcing sexual intercourse, throughout which the victim says she tried to stop him and shouted “no”.
A warrant was issued for Scarborough’s arrest following the victim’s arrival at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Scarborough has been charged as an adult for first and second degree rape, first and second degree assault, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and molestation at school.
