The NYPD’s sex-crimes unit is probing the events surrounding the suicide of the Staten Island high-school girl who leaped in front of a train and killed herself after she participated in an orgy with four football players — and learned that her sex acts may have been video-recorded.
“Our Special Victims Unit is investigating the matter. Obviously, it’s a very disturbing crime, or event, I should say,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly discussing the Wednesday suicide of the 15-year-old Tottenville HS student Felicia Garcia.
“We’re consulting with the DA,” he added.
Charges have not been ruled out, Kelly said.
The four boys, all under 18 years of age and star players on the team, told investigators the group sex was consensual.
“She was very forthright and agreed to have sex” with them, a source said.
But it is possible that laws were broken if the alleged video recording was made or distributed without her consent.
Meanwhile, the high school football game scheduled for this afternoon against Curtis High School was postponed until Sunday because of the suicide.
Garcia had watched Tottenville beat rival Port Richmond HS 16-8 in a Friday-night football game and attended a wild after-party.
There she had sex with the players, and when rumors of the tryst spread, she also told a friend the sex was consensual, sources said.
By Monday, the video was being shared among classmates. Some ridiculed Garcia, and others came on to her, friends said.
“This poor girl was called a slut. She was teased on Facebook,” a classmate, Victoria, said yesterday.
Mariah Alimossy, a pal who lived with Garcia, a foster child, for a few months, recalled, “I asked her what was wrong after the weekend because she seemed distracted.
“She became self-conscious from all of the teasing. She was asking if she looked fat or ugly.”
Reacting to the abuse, school administrators on Wednesday arranged a sit-down with Garcia and two 17-year-old boys. It was unclear if they were football players.
One denied teasing her, the other refused to attend, sources said.
The boy who didn’t attend later ridiculed Garcia, police said.
Senior Alissa Compitello, 17, recalled: “She said, ‘I have mediation with so many people.’ I told her to keep her head up, and she said, ‘I’ll be fine.’ Those are the last words I heard from her.”
Later that day, Garcia and other students crowded on the Staten Island Railway station in Huguenot to go home. The taunts followed her there, said witness Rene Oviedo, 15.
“She was just standing by the edge of the platform with tears in her eyes,” she said.
Another witness, Sara Brager, 16, a junior, said: “The last words Felicia said were, ‘Finally, it’s here.’ I guess she meant the train. She dropped her bag, and she just fell back onto the tracks.”
Extra cops patrolled the school yesterday because of threats against the football team.
“I hope the football team feels guilty for what they did to her,” said Stephanie Imparato, 15.
Police were combing Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for evidence of bullying.
About 100 students held a vigil at the station yesterday. There was some shoving between friends of football players and other students.
