PROVIDENCE, RI- Local teen Jake Houshmeier, 16, was found guilty today of discussing the ACT essay topic with a friend, sources reported.
The decision was made after a series of court appearances and appeals, which eventually led to the Supreme Court's trial.
According to reports, Jake was "hanging out" with his friend, Blake, on Saturday after taking the ACT standardized test. The two were watching football, and Blake asked him how the test went. "Oh, it was okay, I guess," Houshmeier responded. "It was pretty easy. Just kinda boring. The essay topic was stupid, though. It was -----------------------------------------."
After local authorities gained awareness of the incident later that day, they reported it to the ACT headquarters in Iowa. Not only was Houshmeier arrested the next day, but legal action was brought against him by the higher-ups at the ACT company. "We cannot have public knowledge of confidential information like this just floating around everywhere," said an ACT spokesperson, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "What are they going to do next? Discuss the details of the social sciences section?" He then shuttered in horror.
According to Riverside High School teacher Mrs. Bonworth, who administered Houshmeier the test, Jake had been informed that "you can't discuss the details of the test. Please. Really. It's prohibited. It's really, really not good," before taking the test. "I did all I could," said Bonworth. "I'm just sorry he had to go and do this."
When informed of the incident, Jake's friend Jonathan replied, "Jake did this? Ooooo. Busted." Jake's ex-girlfriend, Melanie, replied, "Good. Finally got what he deserves." His other friend, Ryan, said, " Ooo, dang. He is so grounded."
Houshmeier is scheduled to be on Death Row starting tomorrow. His death by lethal injection is expected to come within ten days.
