Ocean County prosecutors reportedly told Michael Kuch, father of 14-year-old Adriana Olivia Kuch, that at least three of the girls involved are facing criminal charges for the February 1 attack on his daughter at Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township, according to NBC 4.
District officials said that the four girls’ suspensions will last until the legal process plays out.
Family members found Adriana Kuch dead by suicide at her Bayville home on February 3. Just two days earlier, video posted to social media revealed several students brutally attacking the freshman as she and her boyfriend walked down the school hallway.

After she fell to the floor, the female student continued pulling her hair and punching her head. At least two students could be heard off-camera cheering on the attack.
