North Sewickley and Franklin, PA

Pittsburgh, PA: High school student Anthony Latour was arrested on charges of harassment and making "terrorist threats" through his rap lyrics, which were posted on his personal Web site from his own home. The fourteen year old was taken out of his middle school in handcuffs; Riverside Beaver County School District later expelled Latour. A Chief Judge of the US District Court in Pittsburgh overturned Latour's expulsion and awarded him a $90,000 settlement for civil rights violations in November of 2005 from the district. Latour also filed a lawsuit against the two townships after they filed charges against him. Latour has reached a $60,000 settlement with the North Sewickley and Franklin townships.
