The lawsuits keep piling on as the Moraga School District is getting sued left and right over sex abuse that happened at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School in the 90s without being reported to the police by school administrators who knew of the abuse.
Now the Contra Costa Times is reporting that a third “Jane Doe” is suing the district for $10 million:
She claims the district and retired Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School Principal Bill Walters, retired Assistant Principal Paul Simonin and retired Superintendent John Cooley failed to report Witters to the proper authorities after a girl had reported sexual abuse two years earlier, and that they “lied” about their knowledge of past complaints.
This brings the total to $40 million in suits against the Moraga school district so far.
I hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving day today! If you’re traveling this holiday stay safe and have fun. If you see me at the Walnut Creek Turkey Trot say hi!
