White House press secretary Sean Spicer has condemned the rape of a Rockville High School student, allegedly by two undocumented immigrants and urged state and local officials to reexamine all laws and procedures to reduce the likelihood of such an incident repeating itself.

Spicer called the rape of the 14-year-old girl in a boys bathroom on Thursday “shocking, disturbing, horrific and whatever other words that someone can think of.”

He also characterized the victim as an immigrant who had come to this country legally. But Montgomery County officials said she had no immigrant status of any kind.
In response to a reporter’s question about the case, Spicer said the president recognizes that education is a state-run and a ¬local-run issue, but I think it is cause for concern what happened there, “And I think the city should look at its policies, and I think that this is something authorities are going to have to look at.”

The suspects Henry Sanchez-Milian(18), and Jose O. Montano(17) , who was charged as an adult, are being held without bail.

Montgomery Schools Superintendent Jack Smith told reporters that both suspects had been in a special program for non-English speakers at the high school and not in classes with the victim.
