Sexual Attacks Trial

A trial is underway in Sioux Falls involving the South Dakota School for the Deaf. A 17-year-old male student is accused of sexually assaulting four former students. The lawsuit accuses school officials of knowing about the repeated rape and sodomy attacks but doing nothing in response. The school’s lawyers say the claims were not specific and police officers were called to investigate the allegations. They also say the abuse was not reported within the two year statute of limitations.
