US EditionLawsuit claims 10-year-old special needs child was raped on Taylorville school bus
- A federal lawsuit filed by a Chicago law firm alleges a 10-year-old special needs girl was raped multiple times by a 14-year-old student in Taylorville in early 2024.
- The lawsuit alleges that the school district was slow to act and only transferred the accused student to another area within the same school, rather than removing him entirely, which exposed the victim to the risk of encountering him.
- The lawsuit asserts violations of Title IX, the 14th Amendment, bodily integrity, and negligence, criticizes a 'radically deficient' Title IX investigation, and cites similar earlier assaults ignored by officials.
- At a June news conference, lead attorney Cass Casper noted the bill co-authored by Sen. Steve McClure to expel sexually assaulting students failed, while the lawsuit seeks damages and new policies to prevent abuse.
- The family pursued all channels before suing, filed protection orders, and demands policy changes including stricter expulsion rules and improved staff training to ensure student safety and accountability.
