The parents of a 16-year-old girl who was reportedly sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old snowboarding coach while the two were at Copper Mountain for the 2011 Nationals are apparently suing Carrabassett Valley Academy for $1.35 million, according to a story in the Sun Journal.
The lawsuit, filed last month by attorney D. Michael Noonan of Dover, N.H., claims that the school was negligent when it allowed [the coach], whose current age and town of residence are not included in the complaint, to continue coaching after it learned he had had a sexual relationship with a female student before his assault on “JD.”
For it’s part CVA says they “terminated its relationship with the coach, notified the student’s parents and notified the appropriate authorities.” She also said that the 19-year-old was not the girl’s coach.” Ugly situation all the way around.
