Will city pay $100K?
Approval hearing set for Attleboro teen who claims police struck her

ATTLEBORO - A 17-year-old high school senior who said she suffered a broken wrist and other injuries when she was stopped and arrested by police last year is in line for a $100,000 settlement from the city.

Esther Durex, an Attleboro High School honor student and track athlete, said she was struck multiple times when she was stopped and questioned after leaving a party on Leedham Street in October 2008.

All charges against Durex were dismissed last week in Juvenile Court, according to her lawyer, John Rego.

However, emergency room and toxicology reports from Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, where the girl was treated, portrayed the young woman as cooperative and having no drugs or alcohol in her system.

Durex is a former Miss Teen Rhode Island contestant and has been a participant in charity drives at her school.


Fuck you, Attleboro.

1. I almost would have rather seen them trotted out in public on trial . . .

And, before someone else says it . . .

The poor girls life must be hard enough without this crap, being in high school and having a last name like Durex . . . Sheeesh.

4. Heck of a way to get your college tuition paid for,

and that's all she got? I think a million is more the figure I had in mind, paid for by the cops who beat her, not by the taxpayers.

Perhaps a few firings of cops who beat her would be in order, too.
