A 13-year-old girl took her own life after she was allegedly sexually assaulted during a spin the bottle game at a party, according to her heartbroken parents.

 A 13-year-old girl took her own life after she was allegedly sexually assaulted during a spin the bottle game at a party, according to her heartbroken parents. 


Mylah Thelen's father found her dead in her bedroom at the family's home on the morning of March 29, just two weeks after she turned 13. 





About a month earlier, Mylah confided in her parents that she had allegedly been sexually assaulted by an 18-year-old man named Blake Kozan, her mother and father, Amy and Robert Thelen told Target 8. 


The teen told her parents that the alleged incident happened on February 21, when a sleepover with a friend turned into them going to another local home and playing the party game, they told the outlet. 




Mylah, then 12, told her parents that is when Kozan allegedly assaulted her, her father said. 


'She said that she didn't want to do it, but didn't know how to stop it,' Thelen recalled.


Kozan was charged with one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, according to court records reviewed by the Daily Mail. 


After hearing what their daughter allegedly endured, Mylah's parents immediately took their daughter to the hospital and had her interviewed at the Montcalm Child Advocacy Center, a nonprofit that provides a safe place for abuse victims. 




Afterward, the husband and wife worked together to support their daughter by constantly reassuring her that what allegedly happened to her was not her fault.


But their daughter continued to have a hard time and her parents weren't fully aware of what she was really going through.


'I think she was lying to me about everybody [at school] knowing about the incident and bullying her about it, because it was easier to hide it than to deal with it,' Thelen told the publication.





The grieving father said his daughter left a note for him and her mother, but did not specify what it said. 


Thelen also said that the night before Mylah took her life, she and her family were 'having the time of our lives.' 


'We don't know what triggered that moment for her because the night before we were having the time of our lives and talking about our future,' he stated. 


When confronted about the alleged crime, Kozan told the local outlet that he had a sexual interaction with Mylah, but claimed he was not aware of how old she was, he told the station.
