Male sex assault victim files Title IX lawsuit against local school system

Story here. Excerpt:

'A former Traverse City Area Public Schools student who was sexually assaulted by a teacher has filed a Title IX lawsuit against the district.

The federal lawsuit claims the teenage boy was harassed, ostracized and excluded by the district's "retaliatory treatment," which ultimately led him to drop out of high school.

The former Traverse City West Senior High School student was 15 years old when Lisa Gaye Placek, who was later convicted, sent him lewd text messages and performed oral sex on him in her car during the 2011-2012 school year.

She pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit sexual penetration and was sentenced in March 2012 to 23 months to 10 years in prison. Michigan Department of Corrections records show she was paroled to Grand Traverse County in January 2014.

The lawsuit filed Monday, Feb. 9, in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids claims a violation of Title IX, the federal legislation that prohibits gender discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. The lawsuit also claims the student's rights were violated under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment and Michigan's Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on a variety of factors.'
