The uncle did not believe him since school gets out at 1354 hours. Unlee stated he then found out he was with a female student who is 18 and left campus with her. Uncle stated he wanted to press charges on the female. I contacted King to confirm was at school all day and did not get taken out of school by the female. King confirmed was at school all day and he and the other female student left together after school. I explained to uncle it is not a crime to leave after school with another female. Uncle stated he then wanted to press charges for rape. however uncle does not know if they had sexual intercourse, only assumes because they were gone for a while. uncle stated hes had ongoing issues with and the female student. I explained to uncle there is no crime and to contact school regarding attendance issues. King was notified of my conversation with uncle.
