Court filing alleges school district failed to protect a 12-year-old student at Alder Creek Middle School.
The North Clackamas School District failed to protect a vulnerable student who was sexually abused by a classmate last year, a new lawsuit claims.
The plaintiff in the case was a 12-year-old seventh grader attending Alder Creek Middle School on Feb. 19, 2020 — the day she was raped and sexually assaulted in an unlocked closet inside the school by a male eighth-grader who was later prosecuted and convicted, the suit says.
Lawyers for the plaintiff and her mother, who are identified only by pseudonym, now seek $2 million in damages for the school district's alleged negligence, according to documents filed in Clackamas County Circuit Court on April 21.
