TAMPA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: Hillsborough County Schools To Be Sued In Sexual Assault Case
The parents of a special-needs student are set to sue Hillsborough County over repeated sexual abuse according to a story on TampaBay.com. The parents of the 13-year-old girl claim she was repeatedly molested on a bus by other students despite a bus driver and adult aide being present. Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies said they questioned the male students and they admitted to being involved in the sexual acts.
While the parents agreed at the time not to press charges, according to the family’s attorney they felt pressured at the time not to pursue the criminal investigation. The family filed an intent to sue and the school district has six months to investigate before the lawsuit can be filed according to the story. The parents also claim they told officials their daughter was being molested but nothing came of their complaints.
