A lawsuit has been filed against one Finger Lakes school district by a student who alleges they were the victim of sexual harassment and bullying.

According to lawyers, the victim, who was identified by the pseudonym “Janie Doe,” is learning disabled. The lawsuit claims “Janie” has suffered five mental health hospitalizations since being assaulted last November.
The school district released a statement to Channel 13 saying it does not comment on pending legal matters and works tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of all students, staff, and visitors.
