Lawsuit says district had video of two assaults for weeks, could have prevented third attack
The family of a student who was sexually assaulted by a Montgomery County special education bus driver has filed a lawsuit claiming the school district was negligent for not preventing the attack.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Montgomery County Circuit Court, says MCPS could have prevented the young girl’s assault if officials had reviewed footage from the school bus camera, which showed that the driver assaulted two students several weeks earlier, on the same route.
In a text message Wednesday night, School district spokesman Derek Turner declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing ongoing litigation...
“The camera installation program turned out to be another in a long list of MCPS red herrings,” the lawsuit says. “This eyes-wide-shut policy did nothing to curb the abuse or assaults … leading to nothing but continued abuse followed only by more reckless and willful inaction by the (school system).”..
