While “Mean Girls Day” is being marked Wednesday in reference to a mention of Oct. 3 in the popular 2004 cult movie, the parents of a former Seneca Valley High School student claim in a federal lawsuit filed this week that their teenage son was terrorized by false accusations made by five “Mean Girls” at the school.
Michael J. and Alecia Flood of Zelienople, Butler County, the parents of a teenage boy identified in the lawsuit as T.F., seek unspecified civil damages against the girls’ parents, the school district and Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger’s office. The lawsuit alleges that the girls “conspired in person and via electronic communication devices to falsely accuse T.F. of sexual assault on two occasions.”
Neither Goldinger nor Seneca Valley school officials returned calls seeking comment.
The 26-page lawsuit — filed in Pittsburgh on the eve of Mean Girls Day — alleges that T.F. “was forced to endure multiple court appearances, detention in a juvenile facility, detention at home, the loss of his liberty and other damages until several of the girls reluctantly admitted that their accusations were false” this summer.
The lawsuit contends that T.F. was bullied on multiple occasions by classmates. In one example, the lawsuit said students last year placed masking tape with the word “PREDATOR” written on it on his back without his knowledge during choir practice.
The lawsuit alleges that the boy was further damaged by “gender bias” by school officials and Goldinger’s office, which even after learning the girls’ accusations were false “did not take any action against the females involved,” said attorney Craig Fishman of Pittsburgh, who represents the Floods.
“(T.F.) was basically being tortured in school by the other students and investigators, but the administration was only focused on protecting the girls who were lying,” Fishman said. “Once the allegations were proven false, they really didn’t care one bit about T.F. and there has been absolutely no repercussions against the girls.”
The teen boy is being home-schooled, Fishman said.
According to the lawsuit, the first allegation occurred in July 2017 at an area swimming pool where T.F. worked as a lifeguard with then Seneca Valley High School graduate Megan Villegas, who is the only teenage defendant named in the lawsuit. The others are minor and are referred to only by initials, Fishman said.
Villegas could not be reached for comment.
The lawsuit contends that T.F. was charged with sexually assaulting a girl identified in the lawsuit at K.S. on the pool premises, and Villegas corroborated K.S. claim by saying she was present during the alleged assault.
“T.F. was fired at the pool,” Fishman said.
In tape-recorded interview with school officials in 2017, the lawsuit alleges that K.S. said she made the sexual assault claim against T.F. because “I just don’t like him.”
“I just don’t like to hear him talk … I don’t like to look at him,” K.S. reportedly disclosed in the recorded interview obtained by Fishman.
On Oct. 2, 2017, K.S. told fellow students “that she would do anything to get T.F. expelled … and accused T.F. of sexual assault” with school officials, the lawsuit states. T.F. was subsequently charged in juvenile court with indecent assault and two counts of harassment.
The Floods eventually agreed in late 2017 to a consent decree where he would not admit guilt, but was required to stay out of trouble for six months and report to the county probation department.
In March, another girl — identified as C.S. and a friend of K.S. — reported to a school counselor that the boy had walked into her home uninvited and sexually assaulted her. The allegations were supported by information from two other girls, identified as E.S. and H.R., according to the lawsuit.
On April 9, Zelienople police charged T.F. with indecent assault, criminal trespass and simple assault.
“On April 10, T.F. was removed from class at Seneca Valley High School and placed in leg and wrist shackles by the Jackson Township Police with the assistance of Juvenile Probation Officer Michael Trego,” the lawsuit said.
Trego testified at a hearing that T.F. was a threat to the community and the teenager had to spend nine days in a juvenile detention center before being released on home-electronic monitoring.
“After 28 days, T.F. was only allowed out of his home to mow his lawn,” the lawsuit contends.
During the case, T.F. was told by school officials he could not play baseball “because every time he was wearing a Seneca Valley jersey, he was representing a school.”
According to the lawsuit, the criminal complaints against the boy began unravelling in May when three of the witnesses admitted they lied.
On Aug. 30, Goldinger’s office sought an order dismissing all charges against T.F. filed for the March allegation due to the false reports, according to court documents. On Sept. 10, the charges in connection with swimming pool incident in 2017 also were ordered closed, according to the lawsuit.
“The Butler County District Attorney’s office promised to file a petition to expunge the record of T.F. in September, but has not yet done so, providing further evidence of gender-based discrimination. The (district attorney) has refused to file criminal charges against K.S., Villegas, C.S., E.S. and H.R. due to gender-based discrimination,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also claims school officials have repeatedly refused to mark the academic records of the girls who lied about the assaults.
“T.F. has had psychological trauma because of all this. He’s had to see a psychologist to deal with the physical symptoms which are the direct result of being accused of something when when he did not do anything wrong,” Fishman said.
Genesis II was early warning: Do not trust women.
Red pill, anyone?
I hope the parents win the lawsuit and win it to such a monetary amount that it breaks the families of the girls. And the school district and the prosecutor’s office should be sued into oblivion. The girls actually need to be charged, convicted, and jailed for the length of time the boy faced. I have NEVER agreed with systems that cut the female of the species slack when making false accusations. Wait, let me correct that: I have NEVER agreed with systems that cut the female of the species slack with they comment the same crime as a male!
Good lawsuit, this is what it will take to rein in these hate filled women and self loathing men.
How could this happen?!! Bush was in charge.
Wait, let me correct that: I have NEVER agreed with systems that cut the female of the species slack with they commit the same crime as a male! Sorry. Got so made couldn’t see straight. LOL
“How could this happen?!! Bush was in charge.”

LOL You’re a bit off. The movie was made in 2004. The accusations happened in 2017.
Sue the pool company, school system, principle, all four girls and their families and anyone else who was remotely involved in this. Sue them for huge amounts and put them on the street if necessary.
Starting to rethink the whole women right to vote thing
It is all ridiculous, and designed for social reformation.
How was Bush involved in this at all?
In 2017 in Pennsylvania Bush would have had no authority.
Seek damages of the amount starting with a $B.
Gee, where are they getting that idea?
OK, so it’s Trumps fault! My point is this assault has been going on all mylife!
Don’t get me started about waking in the AM being WHITE and MALE
“But the girls made credible claims...”
No one should try to call up Hannity and slam the girls. He will not allow it. He will say they deserve to be heard.
Hannity is still whipped by the threatened boycotts of his show.
The DA and the school administrators should be fired for not prosecuting or punishing the false accusers.
Liars need to suffer worse punishments than what the innocent suffered/were facing.
Women and girls primarily do this because gynosociety is biased towards them to be victims, and also because gynosociety is biased against punishing girls as harshly as they would boys, for similar or the same actions. They suffer very little or no real comsequences for lying so there is no deterrent for them to ruin a boys/mans life. Nothing will damage them permanently and they dont face jail time like men would, if they face it at all.
They are girls. girls and women are protected classes that are allowed to get away with this sh1t.
