Register Citizen Reports on SGT Lawsuit for Former Kent School Student

May 18, 2017

The Register Citizen reported on Silver Golub & Teitell's lawsuit for a former student from Kent School who alleged she was sexually abused by a married teacher.

The plaintiff attended Kent School from 1987 to 1990, where she alleges the former teacher used his authority and influence to gain her trust and later exploited that trust to sexually abuse her, the publication reported. The woman claims the sexual abuse took place from 1987 through 1988 and occurred at numerous locations on and around the school’s campus, including in the teacher’s on-campus housing, his car and various off-campus locations in the town. This newspaper is withholding the woman’s name as it is our policy not to name victims of sexual assault.

The complaint also alleges at least one other teacher knew about the sexual abuse while it was happening and failed to report the information to the appropriate authorities, which would be a violation of Connecticut’s mandatory reporting law.
