Sexual Harassment By Classmates

N/A

OUTCOME: Litigation pending

Jane Doe was sexually assaulted by a neighbor three years older. When she returned to school the boy's sister and her friends blamed Jane for the assaults. Her parents complained to the school's offici ... als. In response they either did too little or nothing at all. Mr. Smith brought suit in the U.S. District Court for Connecticut for the district's 'deliberate indifference' to Jane's harassment. [Doe v. New Fairfield, 3:13-cv-01025]
