Felicia Garcia (
)
The Staten Island high-school girl who leapt in front of a train and killed herself had been humiliated by classmates after a video of her in an orgy with four football players went viral, sources said.
The NYPD is now investigating the death of Felicia Garcia, 15, a student at Tottenville HS. Detectives questioned school administrators yesterday and grilled the football players, who said the sex was consensual, sources said.
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.
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.
