JUPITER, Fla. -- A former Jupiter High School student spoke out on Friday, saying two classmates held him down and pretended to perform sex acts on him at school.
Richard -- who did not want his last name revealed -- said he feared for his life after the incident and is now living in another part of Florida.

He said he doesn't know why the teenagers did it, but he wants them to pay for their actions.
He's 6 feet tall, 175 pounds and attended Jupiter High School until early January.
He said in November, two male classmates pretended to rape him in the locker room.
"After I got dressed, the two boys came over and started sexually assaulting me," Richard said. "They spread my legs, acting like they were having sex with me."
Richard said Storm Stockstill, 18, and a 16-year-old classmate were the ones who pretended to rape him.

He said it happened five different times on campus, sometimes in front of other students in the locker room and even in the presence of several physical education teachers.
"I was embarrassed and humiliated and I lost a lot of friends from the incident," Richard said.
He said he eventually built up enough courage to tell his mother and then school police. Stockstill and the other boy were suspended for 10 days. But Richard said it didn't solve the problem.
"When they came back, they threatened to kill me," Richard said. "I stayed indoors. I did not go outside. I was afraid to pick up my sister."

Richard's mother said the incident has damaged his spirit.

"He has become angry," she said. "It affected his GPA. His grades fell. His attendance in school was affected."
Police arrested Stockstill and the 16-year-old this week. They both face charges of felony battery and stalking a minor under 16.

Since Stockstill is 18 years old, Richard said he thinks he should be charged as a sex offender.
"I think that's good," Richard said. "He deserves it. If he didn't want to face the consequences, he shouldn't have done what he had done."

Richard said he moved to a different part of the state because he feared for his life.
The school district said the alleged incidents are under police investigation and the school took immediate and strong action.
Richard has enrolled in a school where he is living. His mother said he is doing fine.
