The Claremont School District denies that it failed to protect a young disabled student from being sexually assaulted by a substitute teacher during a field trip nearly two years ago.
The former substitute teacher, George Caccavaro, 79, pleaded guilty to simple assault but in his response to a lawsuit “denies ever sexually assaulting” the student.
In separate documents this month, the school district, Caccavaro and two school officials responded to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in September by the woman’s guardian over the assault that occurred in 2019.
