Abington School District being sued in federal court

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the Abington School District is being sued in federal court for allowing years of abuse of a female student that eventually led to that student’s rape on school grounds.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

“Though school officials were aware she had been repeatedly harassed and stalked primarily by a specific male student while attending both Abington Junior and Senior High Schools, the district turned a “blind eye” to a “pervasive culture of inappropriate sexual behavior that eventually culminated in sexual assault and rape,” according to the complaint filed by Center City firm Ross Feller Casey.”

The Abington School District has declined to comment on the case.
