This is more murdered by scissors, I think.

From the story itself.

According to the police report, a student pulled up a girl's dress inside of a classroom at Central High School. The victim then grabbed a pair of scissors. She tried multiple times to stab the student before she connected.

He was treated by a nurse at the school.

The male student told police that he was only playing and never exposed the victim, the police report said.

The male student was issued a juvenile summons for sexual battery. The female student was issued a juvenile summons for aggravated assault.

A headline like that would be unprofessional and uninformative. The point of news is to tell what happened as accurately and neutrally as possible.

This is a good headline; it tells the story precisely, and you don't even have to click the link to know what happened.

If the headline was "sexual assault victim defends herself against attack" you wouldn't know what had happened, who the attacker and attackee were, what age they were and how exactly did she defend herself.

Many or most people will make the assumption that she was in the right here, but the news doesn't need to tell you that. Their job is simply to present us with the facts and let us draw the conclusions.
