SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) ? An attorney for the parents of a girl who was sexually assaulted and later hanged herself says she awoke from her battery with drawings and the name of one suspect scrawled on intimate parts of her body.
Attorney Robert Allard and the family of 15-year-old Audrie Pott also announced plans on Monday to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the three, 16-year-old suspects as well as their parents and the family of a girl who hosted the Labor Day party where their daughter was attacked.
Allard says that the photos show enough of the girl's clothing had been removed to put markings on her body. He says she passed out after drinking alcohol mixed with Gatorade.
Audrie's father Lawrence Pott pleaded with witnesses to come forward at a San Jose news conference.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The family of a girl who committed suicide after she was sexually assaulted and a photo of the act was shared in text messages said Monday the three 16-year-old boys responsible were sober when the assault happened.
Audrie Pott's father, mother and step-mother made their first public comments about their daughter's death and the events leading to it during an interview with Fox News that was followed by a news conference.
They said they were outraged by what they see as a refusal to take responsibility by the three boys arrested in the attack on the 15-year-old girl in Saratoga, a bedroom community on the fringe of Silicon Valley.
In addition, Lisa Pott, the girl's stepmother, said the boys were sober, making their actions cold and calculated. The suspects were friends of Audrie, family attorney Robert Allard said.
Audrie's father, Larry Pott, said he was astounded that defense lawyers for the three have said there is no link between the sharing of the humiliating photo and his daughter's decision to end her life.
The boys were arrested Thursday ? eight months after Audrie Pott posted online that her life was ruined and then hanged herself.
"This period has been difficult for us because the wounds are so fresh," her father Lawrence Pott told the heavily attended news conference. "We miss her every day, but now we must carry on and share her story so that this epidemic of sexual assault and cyberbullying amongst teens can be exposed and stopped."
Eric Geffon, who represents one of the suspected teens, said the boys were cited last fall but no formal charges were filed against them until Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies arrested two boys at Saratoga High School and a third, a former Saratoga High student, at Christopher High in Gilroy where he currently was a student.
As of Sunday night, all three 16-year-old boys were still being held in the Santa Clara County detention center.
Pott also had been a student at Saratoga High.
On the night she was assaulted, Pott drank alcohol mixed with Gatorade at a Labor Day sleepover party, then went upstairs and fell asleep "and woke up to the worst nightmare imaginable," Allard said.
Over the next week, she pieced together who had sexually battered her and realized at least one humiliating photo was electronically being passed around the school.
"She was being consoled by other friends and they were concerned about her. One day she apparently felt that she couldn't cope with it anymore and poor Audrie was traumatized to the point where she ended her life," Allard said on Monday.
Geffon said much of what has been reported is incorrect, including the family's assertion that the boys were not cooperating with investigators. He added that the Santa Clara County sheriff's decision to arrest the boys just days prior to a civil lawsuit being filed seems "awfully coincidental."
Family spokesman Ed Vasquez said Audrie's family decided to speak out Monday to "raise awareness about teenage bullying, harassment, sexual assault, and the use of electronic media to disseminate images that humiliate and in this case drove their daughter to take her life."
Backed by a large banner signed with loving messages from dozens of classmates and friends, Allard said the suspects are responsible for the Audrie's decision to end her life. The family is adamant that the suspects be tried as adults, he said.
"They will apparently have you believe that what they did and what Audrie did was just a coincidence," Allard said, alluding to a statement from the boys' attorneys. "Frankly this sent us over the edge because it tells us that these boys and their families to this day refuse to accept responsibility."

eMusic CEO steps down as site merges with e-book distributor
It's only March, but 2013's already proving to be quite the wild ride for music distribution trailblazer, eMusic. A month after eschewing its long time subscription-only model by adding direct music purchases, the site has merged with Ray Kurzweil-founded e-book distributor, K-NFB Reading Inc. The companies confirmed the move in a statement sent to record label partners, which highlights their plan to, "create a consumer-centric interface that makes discovering, interacting with, and purchasing all kinds of media content more accessible and seamless for consumers." The move also sees the exit of CEO Adam Klein. No tears there, however -- the exec (and recent Engadget interview subject) said that he's "very pleased with the significant repositioning of the company and its future direction."

Iowa GOP: No more no-fault for parents, divorce too damaging
Seven Iowa Republicans are pushing a bill to end no-fault divorce for parents of minors, citing the negative impact divorce has on children.

Some Iowa republicans want to put an end to divorce for parents, reports Radio Iowa. All 50 states have ?no-fault? laws allowing couples to divorce without citing evidence of wrongdoing from either spouse. In 1970 Iowa became the second state in the nation to adopt a no-fault divorce law.
Representative Tedd Gassman was on a three-member subcommittee that debated the bill Monday. Gassman said the issue is ?near and dear? to his heart because his daughter and son-in-law recently divorced, putting his granddaughter at risk.
?There?s a 16-year-old girl in this whole mix now. Guess what? What are the possibilities of her being more promiscuous? What are the possibilities of all these other things surrounding her life that a 16-year-old girl, with hormones raging, can get herself into??
Under the proposed legislation, parents with kids under the age of 18 would be prohibited from obtaining a no-fault divorce. Instead, they?d have to show a spouse was guilty of adultery, had been sent to prison on a felony conviction, had physically or sexually abused someone in the family, or had abandoned the family for at least a year.
?This basically is an attempt on my part to keep fathers in the home,? Gassman said. ?I sincerely believe that the family is the foundation of this nation and this nation will go the direction of our families. If our families break up, so will this nation.?
Representative Marti Anderson, a Democrat from Des Moines who opposes the bill, said the tension in her childhood home lasted eight years, until her parents divorced back when fault had to be proven. ?The stay-together time was very, very damaging to my family,? said Anderson, the oldest of four children, ?and although we?re all adults now, I?m not sure any of us have ever really gotten past that.?

Kerry to bring his own causes to State, including efforts in custody battle
WASHINGTON - With John Kerry poised to breeze through Thursday's Senate confirmation hearings to become America's next secretary of state, one thing is clear: he'll bring different qualities and causes to the job than his predecessor.
American environmentalists are already hopeful that the longtime Massachusetts senator ? one of the fiercest climate hawks in Congress ? will put the brakes to TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline, something Hillary Clinton's State Department seemed loath to do.
But there's a lesser-known cause that also distinguishes Kerry from Clinton: his tireless attempts to reunite a Boston-area father with his children after they were spirited away to Egypt three years ago by the boys' non-custodial mother, an Egyptian consultant whose family had close ties to ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak.
Kerry could face questions about the case from fellow senators on Thursday, when he's quizzed by the Senate foreign relations committee.
Kerry is currently the chairman of that panel and pushed through a Senate resolution last year demanding Egypt return the two boys to their father.
In 2009, Colin Bower had full, legal custody of his sons, then aged six and eight, when they were kidnapped by their mother, Mirvat El Nady, and taken illegally to Egypt. The FBI alleges El Nady unlawfully changed her childrens' names, acquired Egyptian passports, paid cash for a one-way plane ticket and abducted them.
Kerry has been actively involved in trying to reunite Bower with his sons, Noor and Ramsay, for the past three years. His efforts once included engaging in a heated argument with Mubarak.
"After my first calls and meetings with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Bower's behalf, my next call was to then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak," Kerry wrote in an opinion piece in the Boston Herald in September.
"It ended in a shouting match, as it became clear Mubarak would do nothing to intercede and, in fact, he was determined to protect the abductors who had ties to his corrupt, crony regime."
Since then, Kerry wrote, he's been working with Egypt's new regime to help Bower get his sons back.
"Tenacity and more is required to complete this job and help a nascent government in Egypt to see the importance of facilitating the return of two abducted children and ending the nightmare that Colin Bower is living each day," he wrote.
"The rule of law must mean something, and respect for law cannot end at a border."
In a recent interview, Bower said he's hopeful one of Kerry's first moves as secretary of state will be to step up efforts to reunite him with his sons.
"Every Tuesday, I speak with two of his chiefs of staff and they reiterate that his priority is getting this done," Bower said.
"He really slammed this through the Senate to be sure he was the one who was owning this issue, and he continues to be the one to say he's committed to resolving it. And there's more that you can do as a member of the cabinet than you can as head of the foreign relations committee."
One of the challenges facing Kerry, however, is the fact that many mid-level bureaucrats in Egypt are from the Mubarak era, Bower said. His ex-wife's family owns a lucrative yeast business and allegedly has ties to the military.
"The family was part of the Mubarak elite, and there are still holdover people in government from Mubarak's regime," he said.
Nonetheless, Bower remains confident that Kerry can and will get the job done.
"He can do that, he's a true diplomat. They're going to have to deal with Sen. Kerry for four years; they're going to want to build up some goodwill."
A Kerry aide said Tuesday that the lawmaker will continue to fight on Bower's behalf.
"Sen. Kerry remains deeply and personally invested in working to reunite Colin Bower with his sons and has been focused on this tragic case since shortly after the illegal abduction from Massachusetts," the aide said.
"He's urged the reunion of Colin and his boys to the highest levels of the Egyptian and U.S. government, and it will remain a personal priority."
Kerry has the backing of congressional Republicans. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives introduced a resolution on the custody dispute late last year.
"The resolution is not calling for anything extraordinary," Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican congresswoman from Florida, said on the House floor in late December.
"We are simply appealing to the Egyptian government to uphold its responsibilities and return these two boys to their rightful home."
Kerry's first overseas trip, however, isn't to Egypt but to Turkey, according to the Turkish daily Milliyet.
The newspaper reported on Monday that a visit to Ankara will be Kerry's first visit to a foreign country as secretary of state. He'll be there for talks on Iraq and Syria.
