The suit stems from the 2016 sexual assault of a freshman at a house party by multiple Croton-Harmon High School students.

The suit claims that the victim was extensively bullied for coming forward, that the student faced retaliatory grading by Croton-Harmon High School teachers, and the school did not comply with Title IX because it did not separate the victim from her attackers.
