Loss: Audrie Pott, 15, killed herself last year after she was allegedly sexually assaulted at a party . One of the teenage boys accused in the sexual assault and cyber-bullying case that led to Audrie Pott's suicide is now claiming that her parents are also to blame for the 15-year-old's tragic hanging. The attorney for the boy, 16, filed court papers at the end of December that state that Lawrence and Sheila Pott share responsibility for their daughter's death in September 2012. The teenager killed herself after three classmates allegedly sexually assaulted her and circulated photos of the sickening attack. Pott, from Saratoga, California, took her life in after sending Facebook messages to the boys who allegedly assaulted her at an alcohol-fueled party. Now one of the boys is stating that her parents have partial responsibility in the case, as reported by SFGate.com. The document, filed by attorney Philip Pereira, says that Lawrence and Sheila Pott failed to act on the girl's 'long-standing and serious emotional problems before her suicide and they should have sought professional help.' The filing also mentions an 'altercation' between Audrie and two of her friends shortly before her death. Robert Allard, the parents' attorney reacted angrily to the assertions. He released a statement reading: 'The sole issue in this case is the callous behavior of the . suspects which directly led to Audrie's unnecessary death. 'Since this . lawsuit was filed, it has become quite clear to us that the suspects . refuse to accept responsibility or show remorse for their actions.'

SFGate.com reported that Allard described the document as 'a revolting attempt to deflect . responsibility away from his clients. This case is and will always be . about the tragic consequences associated with sexual assault and cyber . bullying.'
