The Spur Posse was a "white, suburban clique" of former and current Lakewood High School students from Lakewood, California.[1] The members of the group, estimated between 20 to 30 individuals, admitted to "competing for 'points' in a long-running game of sexual conquests."[1][2] Accusations of sexual assault and misconduct against the group was filed by seven girls in 1993.[2] On March 18, 1993, nine members of the group were arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for sex crimes including sexual assault, lewd conduct, and statutory rape of a 10-year-old minor.[3]
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department initially charged nine members of the group with 17 felony counts, but "the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office declined to file charges against four youths, dropping 15 charges, concluding that the sexual encounters had occurred with the consent of the girls."[1][4][5] National media attention of the case soon followed, and several members of the group went on talk shows to discuss the Spur Posse and its sexual values.[6] Eventually, prosecutors controversially dropped all but one charge. One member of the group was convicted with lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 14 and spent less than a year in the Dorothy Kirby Center, a juvenile detention center in Commerce, CA.[3]
