A lawsuit was filed Monday after a student at a suburban Chicago high school alleged that she was sexually assaulted on campus in October.
The lawsuit claims on Oct. 31 a female student, who is a minor, was raped by another student just before 9 a.m. during theater class.Homewood-Flossmoor High SchoolJohnson told FOX 32 News in October that it took school leaders more than an hour to release her daughter so that a family member could rush her to a local hospital.
The victim's mother also said there was surveillance footage before the incident showing the boy following her into a room. "The camera's not on the inside, the camera only catches them walking in. She said that he was trying to touch her. She kept slapping his hands, telling him ‘no, I don't like you like that. No’. And he grabbed her and slammed her on the floor, raped her and to the point where she was crying, and he was laughing," Johnson told FOX 32.
Following the incident the school released a statement saying the school is fully cooperating with the law enforcement investigation.The alleged attack came months afterat the same school over more allegations of sexual assault and harassment. Illinois’ law allows for victims to proceed anonymously, however a press release from the victim's lawyers says Johnson and her daughter have chosen to be named in the lawsuit in hopes "to bring to light the culture of sexual and physical violence and to break the code of silence that has plagued Homewood Flossmoor High School District 233."By clicking Sign Up, I confirm
