Former student alleges principal raped her
I just read an article about a Cincinnati Public School student that alleged her principal raped her. She is suing the district, holding the board accountable for not keeping an eye on its staff member.
This entire story makes me sick to my stomach, plus it leaves so many questions. The biggest one is what use is it to sue the district, when it is the principal that is under question here? School districts get sued frequently, and they are funded by tax dollars. Should there be limits on law suits against public institutions? At what point should individuals be held liable for their own actions?

Calm down! The article states, “Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders says his office has reviewed the case and no criminal charges are filed. Unless new evidence surfaces, he does not anticipate charges.” Now the fact that the prosecutor does not anticipate pressing charges does not mean a rape did not occur. It means he has concluded that he cannot prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. You should not assume because an allegation of rape has been made that it is true. It does appear that this man and woman had consensual sex in the past. Why did she go to the motel?
