Free Kate update: Students blame Kaitlyn Hunt for graduation ticket limit, It is a busy week for Kaitlyn Hunt, the Florida teen facing felony charges for having sexual relations with a younger girl at her school, and her team.
While Hunt is busy getting ready for her high school graduation, her attorney, Julia Graves, is preparing for her trial. According to a June 1 Viral Read report, team Free Kate has lost the support of the local PFLAG affiliate.
Kaitlyn may also be losing the support of her fellow classmates at Sebastian River High School and their families. The school announced that seniors would each be given eight tickets for graduation just last week. Prior to this, students were under the assumption that they could invite as many people as they wanted. Many families now have relatives coming in from out of state and not enough tickets to go around.
Students are blaming this on the media attention the Free Kate campaign has stirred up. Senior Maira Cisneros told News Channel 5,
“Everyone assumed and is assuming that it’s because of (the Hunt arrest) and because the media is going to be there and whatnot. I don’t think it’s fair. Most of the seniors bought invitations and (some) invited more than 20 people.”
Kaitlyn Hunt was originally scheduled to go to court next month, but her lawyer has asked for more time.
