The three boys, now high school seniors, and other teens are expected to deliver uncomfortable and emotional testimony about the party where Audrie was sexually assaulted after passing out drunk and other events leading up to her death. Audrie's parents say the assault and fear of online ridicule caused her suicide, and they have pursued a wrongful death lawsuit against the boys, their families and others for three years that will culminate with the three-week trial. A man claiming to be her biological father contacted Audrie when she was in eighth grade, causing emotional turmoil that remained unresolved when she died, the lawyers say. The Potts' lawyer, Bob Allard, dismisses those claims as a "smear campaign" to distract from the root cause of Audrie's suicide: the photos of her sexual assault and the belief she was the subject of rampant rumors. Audrie's parents led the campaign to pass a California law that allows prosecutors to seek harsher sentences for juvenile sex offenders who take pictures of their crimes and use them to bully victims.
