In a letter to the teen's mother, Dhakira Talbot, the county's teen court said there are no pending issues.

"Since this was not entered in a criminal database, no delinquency record was created," it said.

Ford said he hopes the parties involved will reach a resolution without going to trial.

"We do not believe that this case needs to go to trial, although we certainly are prepared to try this case," he said in a statement. "Instead, it is our hope that the US Department of Education will utilize all of the tools at its disposal to help bring the parties and community stakeholders together in order to reach a fair and just resolution of this case."
